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.

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?

“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©2021 Katja Hoyer (P)2022 W. F. Howes Ltd Deutschland Europa Neuere

The narrator is clearly not across German words and terms, and speaks the language with a slight French accent. What a shame, as it really detracts markedly from the overall experience

The story is extremely well written and researched
