This final volume of John Roehl's acclaimed biography of Kaiser
Wilhelm II reveals the Kaiser's central role in the origins of the
First World War. The book examines the Kaiser's part in the Boer
War, the Russo-Japanese War, the naval arms race with Britain and
Germany's rivalry with the United States as well as in the crises
over Morocco, Bosnia and Agadir. It also sheds new light on the
public scandals which accompanied his reign from the allegations of
homosexuality made against his intimate friends to the Daily
Telegraph Affair. Above all, John Roehl scrutinises the mounting
tension between Germany and Britain and the increasing pressure the
Kaiser exerted on his Austro-Hungarian ally from 1912 onwards to
resolve the Serbian problem. Following Germany's defeat and
Wilhelm's enforced abdication, he charts the Kaiser's bitter
experience of exile in Holland and his frustrated hopes that Hitler
would restore him to the throne.
