Description
Bismarck: A Life
This biography explores the greatness and limits of one of the most fascinating figures of the 19th century. Through the diaries and letters of his contemporaries, it delves into the life of Otto von Bismarck, a man who united Germany and transformed Europe through his remarkable personality.
From his secretaries to his enemies, this book offers a unique insight into the thoughts and feelings of those closest to him. It reveals a complex individual, driven by both grand visions and petty malice, who was as much a servant of the state as he was its master.
