{"product_id":"germany-and-the-next-war-1","title":"Germany and the Next War","description":"\u003cp\u003eGermany and the Next War, penned by Friedrich von Bernhardi in 1912, is a provocative treatise that anticipates the resurgence of militarism and conflict in Europe. The book presents a compelling argument for the inevitability of war as a means for national advancement and a critique of pacifism, positioning Germany as a nation destined for greatness through military might. Bernhardi argues that the complexities of modern politics demand a robust, prepared military stance, and he advocates for a preemptive strike to secure Germany's future. His ideas reflect the prevailing zeitgeist of German nationalism and the belief in the necessity of war for national survival. While controversial and heavily criticized for its jingoism and deterministic outlook, the book provides insight into the mindset that contributed to the outbreak of World War I. Bernhardi's work remains a significant historical document, illustrating the dangerous intersection of militarism and ideology in early 20th-century Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Booksclassic","offers":[{"title":"Perfect Bound","offer_id":50352214573360,"sku":"9609441294996","price":10.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thegreatbritishbookshop.co.uk\/products\/germany-and-the-next-war-1","provider":"The Great British Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
