In the 336-page book published by the Naval Institute Press, Dorondo examines the history of the German cavalry, a combat group that survived World War I and returned to war again in 1939, and describes how the cavalry’s tradition carried on against a backdrop of rapid military industrialization.
A specialist in modern German history with a longstanding interest in military history, Dorondo also is the author of “Bavaria and German Federalism: Reich to Republic, 1918-1933” and numerous articles and reviews.
