'The best biography of the Second Reich in years ... It will
undoubtedly become the essential account of this vitally important
part of European history' Andrew Roberts Before 1871, Germany was
not a nation but an idea. Its founder, Otto von Bismarck, had a
formidable task at hand. How would he bring thirty-nine individual
states under the yoke of a single Kaiser, convincing proud
Prussians, Bavarians and Rhinelanders to become Germans? Once
united, could the young European nation wield enough power to rival
the empires of Britain and France - all without destroying itself
in the process? In a unique study of five decades that changed the
course of modern history, Katja Hoyer tells the story of the German
Empire from its violent beginnings to its calamitous defeat in the
First World War. It is a dramatic tale of national self-discovery,
social upheaval and realpolitik that ended, as it started, in blood
and iron.
