Colmar von der Goltz vs Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan

Goltz published Das Volk in Waffen (The Nation in Arms), a widely read military treatise. The book argued for a citizen army based on universal service and national mobilization, influencing military thinking in Germany and the Ottoman Empire. It established his reputation as a military theorist.
