You might think the laws of King Edward I of England (1239-1307), George Washington’s whisky distillery, and an 1807 “Treatise on the Law of Idiocy and Lunacy” have little to do with the federal criminal code of 2024. And you might think they have even less to do with contemporary federal regulation of cannabis. But the Supreme Court’s test for the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms requires litigants and courts to become historians scouring the archives.
Military history tends to be seen through the eyes of the victors, but these two books show the two world wars from the perspective of the defeated Germans. Archival research on German military decision-making during World War I has been hampered by the destruction of the bulk of the records in World War II. Boff has managed to fill some of the gaps by supplementing standard sources with the detailed diaries of Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria.
Not a biography but a readable scholarly overview of how Hitler managed Germany’s armed forces. Fritz (History/East Tennessee State Univ.; Ostkrieg: Hitler’s War of Extermination in the East, 2011, etc.) begins in 1933 when Hitler met with military leaders and assured them that he would return Germany’s armed forces to the respect they enjoyed before 1918. Everyone understood that this would require going to war.
