	Biography - Helmuth Johann Ludwig Von Moltke
		Helmuth Johann Ludwig von Moltke (May 25 1848—June 18 1916), also known as Moltke the Younger, was a nephew of Generalfeldmarschall Helmuth Karl Bernhard von Moltke and served as the German General Staff from 1906 to 1914.
		In addition, Moltke opted to respect the territorial integrity of the Netherlands, thus maintaining her usefulness as a port in the event of a British blockade.
		A number of historians, notably Zuber and S.L.A. Marshall, contend that the failure of Alexander von Klucks First Army to keep position with Karl von Bülows Second Army, thus creating a gap near Paris that was exploited by the French, is a more direct cause than any planning foibles on Moltkes part.

		And a final contribution charts the opinions of the German military advisor to the Ottoman Empire, Colmar Freiherr von der Goltz.
		Goltz was an interesting figure, who, it would seem, was genuinely influenced by the Boer War.
		Inevitably with edited collections, space and the availability of contributors are major issues, but one wonders, nevertheless, why essays on the origins of the war, on Britons living at Delagoa Bay and on Colmar von der Goltz were preferred to these more obvious alternatives.

	CLAUSEWITZ FOR BEGINNERS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-22)
		Marie von Clausewitz hinted at the source of his motivation when she wrote of her husband that although he was free "of any petty vanity, of restless egotism and ambition, he nevertheless felt the need to be truly useful, and not let his God-given abilities go to waste."
		The European discovery of Clausewitz was slow and closely related to the emergence of Helmuth von Moltke as chief of the General Staff of the Prussian army and Prussia's successes in the wars of 1866 and 1870.
		Colmar von der Goltz, in The Nation inArms (1883), pushed for the adoption of the idea (in theory adopted from Clausewitz) that wars should be pushed to their utmost limits.

		In Kitchen’s view, from Carl von Clausewitz in the beginning of the nineteenth century to Alfred Graf von Schlieffen at the end of the century, the German approach to war had become more rigid and obsessed with purely military thinking, ignoring the changes in warfare that had occurred over the previous century.
		However, this was due less to a firm belief in the continued validity of the short-war model than the recognition that, given the vast economic and manpower resources available to their enemies, Germany could only hope to win a war that was short.
		Alfred von Schlieffen and Helmuth von Moltke the Younger both wrestled with this difficulty during their tenures as Chief of the Prussian General Staff and both reached this conclusion.

		The Punctation of Olmütz exacerbated the distrust between liberal and conservative, and liberal and soldier, causing widespread disillusionment in Prussia regarding liberal-democratic ideals.
