Friedrich von Bernhardi

Friedrich Adolf Julius von Bernhardi was a Prussian general and military historian. He was a bestselling author prior to World War I. A militarist, he is perhaps best known for his bellicose book Deutschland und der Nchste Krieg , printed in 1911. He advocated a policy of ruthless aggression and complete disregard of treaties and regarded war as a divine business.

Bernhardi was born in St. Petersburg, Russian Empire. His family immigrated to Schpstal, Silesia in 1851.
