A huge oversized book. No date (!), but apparently post Russo-Japanese war, so I guess circa 1910. From a time when Germany possessed the world's most powerful, efficient, and technically advanced army, with an economy to match, and there was much speculation as to Germany's future perhaps lying in world dominance.
