Eine bahnbrechende Edition und faszinierende Lektüre für alle militärgeschichtlich am Zweiten Weltkrieg Interessierten: Generaloberst Friedrich Fromms Diensttagebuch der Jahre 1938-1943 - seine persönliche Arbeitsunterlage, eine historische Quelle von frappierender Authentizität. Die Aufzeichnungen des Stabschefs beim Chef der Heeresrüstung und Befehlshaber des Ersatzheeres umfassen Sitzungsprotokolle, Vermerke über Telefongespräche, Einschätzungen zur Lage der deutschen Kriegswirtschaft, Rüstungstechnik und Vieles mehr. Von besonderer Bedeutung sind Besprechungsnotizen zu vertraulichen Gesprächen mit Hitler. Spannungen im innersten Zirkel der Wehrmachtführung und Auseinandersetzungen zu frühen Aktivitäten des militärischen Widerstandes werden ebenso angesprochen wie pessimistische Einschätzungen von Admiral Canaris zum Kriegsverlauf. Die Publikation dieses Schlüsseldokuments aus einer Spitzenbehörde der deutschen Kriegsrüstung wird durch beigegebene Kurzbiographien von rund 2.500 Offizieren und Beamten der Verwaltungs- und Rüstungselite der Wehrmacht zu einem wertvollen Referenzwerk.

Aegean prehistory was born out of the search for the Trojan War. Since the time of Heinrich Schliemann, new forms of evidence have come to light and innovative questions have arisen, including examinations of warfare as a concept. This volume interrogates the nature of warfare in the Bronze Age Aegean for scholars and teachers with knowledge of the ancient Mediterranean, who wish to access the state of the field when it comes to the ways that specialists approach warfare in the prehistoric Aegean. Authors review evidence, consider the social and cultural place of war, and revisit longstanding questions.

The adage that an army “marches on its stomach” finds renewed emphasis in this collection of essays. Focusing on military diet and supply from Homer through the Roman Empire, Diet and Logistics in Greek and Roman Warfare explains regional dietary options and reassesses traditional notions of “provisioning” while exploring topics ranging from strategy and subterfuge to trade and terror. Through fresh insights drawn from current research and excavation spanning the Greco-Roman world, contributors confirm how providing food and drink for soldiers was critical to every army’s success and survival. This volume stimulates reevaluation of ancient militaries and encourages new research.
