This article focuses on the book "Attack: A Study of Blitzkrieg Tactics," by F.O. Miksche. The book has been described as a textbook of modern war, and the only textbook that deals with war as the Germans have shaped it and are shaping it. Only a small portion of the book is devoted to the historical background of the Nazi system of aggressive warfare, but the evolution of this system through the Spanish and Polish campaigns is carefully traced. In the former, the Germans learned much and the French little, and Miksche explains why the French failed to profit from the lessons of a campaign so near home.
