This collection of innovative essays examining the role of Wilhelm
II in Imperial Germany was first published in 2003, particularly on
the later years of the monarch's reign. The essays highlight the
Kaiser's relationship with statesmen and rulers; his role in
international relations; the erosion of his power during the First
World War; and his ultimate downfall in 1918. The book demonstrates
the extent to which Wilhelm II was able to exercise 'personal
rule', largely unopposed by the responsible government, and
supported in his decision-making by his influential entourage. The
essays are based on thorough and far-reaching research and on a
wide range of archival sources. Written to honour the innovative
work of John Roehl, Wilhelm II's most famous biographer, on his
sixty-fifth birthday, the essays within this volume will continue
to provide an exciting evaluation of the role and importance of
this controversial monarch.
