In a survey of program directors in 14 specialties, "grades in required clerkships" was the most important academic criterion used to select residents (Wagoner 1999). Also highly valued were the number of honors grades earned.

Knowing this, thousands of medical students start their clerkships every year with tremendous enthusiasm and energy, spend long days in the hospital, and work hard, only to be disappointed in the results. Why? The reason is that many of them overlook a critical step, one that prevents them from reaching their full potential during clerkships. What is that step?

They haven't learned how to make the transition between the basic science and clinical years of medical school. Many clerkship directors, faculty members, and residents feel that students are not adequately prepared for clerkships. In a survey of clerkship directors in internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, family medicine, and obstetrics/gynecology, nearly half reported that students were not adequately prepared in key areas prior to beginning their third year of medical school (Windish 2004).

Why is this transition so difficult? The skill set that you developed in order to be a successful basic science student is not the same set you'll need to be successful during the third year. Starting the third year is a watershed moment in your medical education, one that requires you to have a specific strategy for success. This book will provide you with that strategy, helping you to become the savvy student who is poised for clerkship success. This will help you secure outstanding clinical evaluations and strong letters of recommendation, maximizing your chances of matching with the residency program of your choice..

Citino focuses on operational warfare to demonstrate continuity in German military campaigns from the time of Elector Frederick Wilhelm and his great "sleigh-drive" against the Swedes to the age of Adolf Hitler and the blitzkrieg to the gates of Moscow. Along the way, he underscores the role played by the Prussian army in elevating a small, vulnerable state to the ranks of the European powers, describes how nineteenth-century victories over Austria and France made the German army the most respected in Europe, and reviews the lessons learned from the trenches of World War I.

Through this long view, Citino reveals an essential recurrent pattern--characterized by rapid troop movements and surprise attacks, maneuvers to outflank the enemy, and a determination to annihilate the opposition--that made it possible for the Germans to fight armies often larger than their own. He highlights the aggressiveness of Prussian and German commanders--trained simply to find the enemy and keep attacking--and destroys the myth of Auftragstaktik ("flexible command"), replacing it with the independence of subordinate commanders. He also brings new interpretations to well-known operations, such as Moltke's 1866 campaign and the opening campaign in 1914, while introducing readers to less familiar but important battles like Langensalza and the Annaberg.

The German way of war, as Citino shows, was fostered by the development of a widely accepted and deeply embedded military culture that supported and rewarded aggression. His book offers a fresh look at one of the most remarkable, respected, and reviled militaries of the past half millennium and marks another sterling contribution to the history of operational warfare.

With The Years of Extermination, Saul Friedländer completes his major historical work on Nazi Germany and the Jews. The book describes and interprets the persecution and murder of the Jews throughout occupied Europe. The enactment of German extermination policies and measures depended on the cooperation of local authorities, the assistance of police forces, and the passivity of the populations, primarily of their political and spiritual elites. This implementation depended as well on the victims’ readiness to submit to orders, often with the hope of attenuating them or of surviving long enough to escape the German vise.

This multifaceted study—at all levels and in different places—enhances the perception of the magnitude, complexity, and interrelatedness of the many components of this history. Based on a vast array of documents and an overwhelming choir of voices—mainly from diaries, letters, and memoirs—Saul Friedländer avoids domesticating the memory of these unprecedented and horrific events. The convergence of these various aspects gives a unique quality to The Years of Extermination. In this work, the history of the Holocaust has found its definitive representation.
