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. This book, based on a wealth of previously
unpublished archival material, provides the most detailed account
ever written of the first half of his reign. Following on from the
author's highly acclaimed Young Wilhelm (1998), the volume
demonstrates the monarch's dynastic arrogance and the wounding
abuse he showered on his own people as, step by step, he built up
his personal power. His 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. Soon the
predictable consequences - constitutional crisis at home and
diplomatic isolation abroad - began to make their alarming
appearance.
