Description
Otto von Bismarck, known as the Iron Chancellor, has long been remembered for his role in unifying Germany. However, this new edition of Volker Ullrich's biography reveals a more complex figure. Bismarck's legacy is often misunderstood, with some viewing him as a reactionary and militarist who set Europe on a path to disaster. Yet, as Ullrich demonstrates, Bismarck was actually an opponent of liberal German nationalism. After the wars of 1866 and 1870, he worked tirelessly to preserve peace in Europe and protect the empire he had created. This comprehensive biography shows that Bismarck's efforts went beyond Germany's borders, with a focus on maintaining stability and harmony. Ullrich sheds new light on Bismarck's role in European history, offering a balanced and nuanced portrayal of this monumental figure.
