Summary
This book challenges the commonly accepted claims of German memoirists that the significant weaknesses of Germany's ally, Austria-Hungary, were unknown to German military and political leaders before the war. Through an analysis of evidence from German military attachés, the author forces a reevaluation of the German position leading up to World War I.
