The book explores the surprising role of the military in transitioning to a new democratic system, contrary to typical Western expectations of resistance to change. It examines how the military, shaped by a Russian-inspired training system that undervalued individual agency, adapted to the innovative 'Innere Fuehrung' concept foundational to the Bundeswehr's philosophy. This shift ultimately led to the military's own decline, highlighting the complexities of institutional change in the face of external threats.
