Often referred to as Moltke the Elder, he is portrayed today as the nearly-infallible victor of the Prussian wars in 1864 against Denmark, in 1866 against Austria, and in 1871 against France. Moltke the Elder is known as a brilliant, innovative planner and master of the battlefield. \u003ci\u003eThe Moltke Myth\u003c\/i\u003e shows that this \"common knowledge\" is based solely on hero-worship and simplistic generalizations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eZuber, a career infantry officer, subjects Moltke's plans and orders to a militarily professional analysis. He asserts a new premise that Moltke was a normal human being who made grave errors like systematically failing to use cavalry reconnaissance and never knowing the location of his enemy. Zuber presents the true story about how realistic peacetime training and tactical excellence in combat helped the Prussian army win battles. \u003ci\u003eThe Moltke Myth\u003c\/i\u003e offers stimulating new perspectives on tactics and strategy in the Wars of German Unification\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTerence Zuber\u003c\/b\u003e is a retired United States Military Officer.
