The author sets out to re-establish the reputation for which the German soldier was once renowned, and which was distorted by Nazi atrocities. Review: An interesting read - Jackboot is a great perspective on the German soldier, from the time of Frederick the First until the end of World War Two and afterwards. It’s a candid, unbiased view but is not apologetic. A very interesting read. Review: Laffin goes out of the usual box to look into the mind of the German soldier. Well worth reading, unusual. - Jackboot John Laffin has over a hundred books to his credit. “Jackboot” tells the story of the German soldier over a period of more than two centuries, from 1713 to 1945. The heavy hand of Fredrick the Great continued to influence German military affairs and the minds of the Prussian officer class long after his death. He did have the virtue of success, something that his would be imitator, Adolf Hitler, cannot claim. Author Laffin brushes over the campaigns and battles, the tactics and weapons to focus on the mind of the German soldier and of his leaders. I found the sections on modern day psychological evaluation to be fascinating. The Germans did not evaluate future combat leaders in the same way that other nations do, not by a long shot. If you are looking for a different sort of a look at the German Army, a long hard look that goes a long way to explain how it was able to withstand the whole of Europe and America in World War II, take a gander at “Jackboot”. You will not be disappointed. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,987,526 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #670 in Military Technology | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 14 Reviews | ## Images ![Jackboot a History of the German Soldier - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619VAjvSpZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An interesting read *by E***I on March 25, 2025* Jackboot is a great perspective on the German soldier, from the time of Frederick the First until the end of World War Two and afterwards.
