F.E. Whitton, Moltke (1921, reprinted 1972), is a biography. Walter Görlitz, The German General Staff: Its History and Structure, 1657–1945 (1953; also published as History of the German General Staff, 1657–1945, 1953, reprinted 1985), provides a rather good background, explaining Moltke’s part in both the development and the implementation in war of the general staff system.
