Iron and Blood: A Military History of the German-Speaking Peoples since 1500 

byPeter H. Wilson

Peter H. Wilson's Iron and Blood investigates the military history of the german-speaking peoples since 1500, grounding a large subject in the people and choices that shaped it. Using archival sources, narrative history, and voices from the period, Iron and Blood moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing Iron and Blood within history, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment. Iron and Blood emphasizes the specific circumstances that made this story possible and the consequences that followed.
