Books, Manuscripts
General Erich Ludendorff was one of the most important military individuals of the last century, yet today, one of the least known. One of the top two German generals of World War I, he dominated not only his superior - General Paul von Hindenburg - but also Germany's head of state, Kaiser Wilhelm II. For years, Ludendorff was the military dictator of Germany. Not only dictating all aspects of World War I, he refused all opportunities to make peace, he antagonised the Americans until they declared war, he sent Lenin into Russia to forge a revolution in order to shut down the Russian front, and then he pushed for total military victory in 1918, in a rabid slaughter known as the Ludendorff Offensive. This is the true story of the man who lost World War I, blamed the Jews for his follies and then went on to inspire and form an alliance with Hitler.
