Kaiser Wilhelm II (1859–1941) ruled Imperial Germany from his
accession in 1888 to his enforced abdication in 1918 at the end of
the First World War. These three acclaimed books provide the most
detailed account ever written of his reign. In Volume 1, on the
Kaiser's early life, John Röhl charts the bitter conflict between
the handicapped prince and his liberal parents, and the utter
failure of attempts to turn the young prince into a liberal
Anglophile. Volume 2 shows how Wilhelm's thirst for glory, his
overweening nationalism and militarism, and his passion for the
navy provided the impetus for a breathtaking long-term goal: the
transformation of the German Reich into the foremost power in the
world. The final volume examines the mounting tensions caused by
the Kaiser's policies at home and abroad, and reveals his central
role in the origins of the First World War.
