"The War Book of the German General Staff" is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work comprises a translation of "Kriegsbrauch im Landkriege," a manual issued by the German General Staff for military instruction. The book likely delves into the strategies, usages, and moral considerations surrounding warfare, particularly as conceived by the German military tradition. At the start of the text, the critical introduction establishes the authoritative nature of the manual as a guideline for German officers. It highlights a stark perspective on warfare, where the authors consider the laws of war to be mere formalities, often disregarding humanitarian principles as "scraps of paper." The introduction lays out a systematic discussion of the nature of war, emphasizing the brutal realities and strategies that the German military considers acceptable, effectively setting the stage for a Machiavellian view of military ethics. It discusses the implications of war on civilians, property, and international conduct, preparing the reader for the ensuing detailed examination of wartime practices and principles synthesized from this specific German military perspective.
