Abstract
The generalized Hamiltonian equations of motion for a gravitationally interacting two-body system, resulting from a slow-motion expansion of Einstein's field equations up to the order 1/ c5, are given explicitly. The appearing quadrupole radiation reaction force is different (in form) from the well-known and often used one.
