Peter Paret examines the intellectual and institutional collapse of the Prussian military during the 1806 campaign against Napoleon. By analyzing the interplay between traditional doctrine and the shifting realities of modern warfare, the text explores how this catastrophic defeat forced a fundamental reassessment of military theory and statecraft in nineteenth-century Europe.
