Christopher Clark's Kaiser Wilhelm II: A Life in Power is a short,
fascinating and accessible biography of one of the 20th century's
most important figures. King of Prussia, German Emperor, war leader
and defeated exile, Kaiser Wilhelm II was one of the most important
- and most controversial - figures in the history of
twentieth-century Europe. But how much power did he really have?
Christopher Clark, winner of the Wolfson prize for his history of
Prussia, Iron Kingdom, follows Kaiser Wilhelm's political career
from his youth at the Hohenzollern court through the turbulent
decades of the Wilhelmine era into global war and the collapse of
Germany in 1918, to his last days. He asks: what was his true role
in the events that led to the outbreak of the First World War? What
was the nature and extent of his control? What were his political
goals and his success in achieving them? How did he project
authority and exercise influence? And how did his people really
view him? Through original research, Clark presents a fresh new
interpretation of this contentious figure, focusing on how his
thirty-year reign from 1888 to 1918 affected Germany, and the rest
of Europe, for years to come. 'Clark's fresh and enlightening
history brings the Kaiser's life into critical and illuminating
review' German History Christopher Clark is a lecturer in Modern
European History at St Catharine's College, University of
Cambridge. His book Iron Kingdom: The Rise and Downfall of Prussia
1600 to 1947 was the winner of the Wolfson Prize for History.
