*WINNER OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON AWARD FOR MILITARY HISTORY*
*DAILY TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR 2022*
Iron and Blood is a remarkably ambitious and absorbing book, covering five centuries of political, military, technological, and economic change to tell the story of the German-speaking regions, from the Rhine to the Balkans, from Switzerland to the North Sea. Wilson's narrative examines everything from the development of weapons to recruitment and battlefield strategy.
The military impact of the Germans on the rest of Europe has been immense. If there is one constant element, it is the sense of being surrounded by seemingly more powerful enemies - France, Russia, or Turkey - and the need to deliver a swift blow to secure a favorable outcome. Almost inevitably, this has led to prolonged, relentless, and often deadlocked wars and - during the period 1939-1945 - moral disaster.
The author of definitive books on the Holy Roman Empire and the Thirty Years' War, Peter Wilson, with Iron and Blood, has written his masterpiece.
