The documents were chosen to illuminate not only Bismarck’s own personality and policies but also the nature of the problems he faced and the reactions of his contemporaries. The substantial introduction serves as a general background and guide to the documents, which are in the form of letters, essays, polemics, speeches, and memoirs, produced in the period itself. They allow the student to obtain a genuine first-hand insight into the workings of minds and institutions in Germany during three of the most eventful decades of her history.

Book Synopsis Germany in the Age of Bismarck by : Walter Michael Simon
Download or read book Germany in the Age of Bismarck written by Walter Michael Simon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1968 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first time that a comprehensive selection of documents on Germany in the Age of Bismarck has been made available to students and other readers in the English language. As the title indicates, the documents have been chosen to illuminate not only Bismarck's own personality and policies but also the nature of the problems he faced and the reactions of his contemporaries. The same is true of Professor Simon's Introduction: he has here taken the opportunity of writing a thorough and searching essay, whereas in his recent Germany: a Brief History space allowed only a much more compressed consideration of the period under discussion here. While the Introduction serves as general background and guide to the documents as well as standing on its own as an original scholarly treatment, it is the documents that are the most novel part of this volume. Editor and publishers are convinced that the development of independent historical thought and judgement on a person as controversial as Bismarck and on a country as complex as the Germany over which he ruled can be best encouraged by the collection in convenient form of materials, letters, essay's, polemics, speeches, memoirs- produced in the period itself. Only in this way can readers get behind the cliches perpetuated in textbooks and obtain a genuine first-hand insight into the workings of minds and institutions in Germany during three of the most eventful decades of her history.

Book excerpt: The Period of Fortification, 1880-1898The burst of capitalistic expansion that accompanied German unification came to an abrupt end with the crash of 1873, which opened a period of economic depression. Volume III describes the continuation of Bismarck's efforts to cope with the resulting economic and social problems that hindered his quest for a new national consensus in support of the Prussian-German establishment." It also brings to a climax theauthor's account of Bismarck's mounting political frustrations, their psychopathological consequences, and the struggle of his doctors to convert him to a healthier life-style. The final chapters deal with the fascinating story of Bismarck's conflict with Wilhelm II. The work ends with an account of the Bismarck legend that endures to this day and may yet influence Germany's current quest for reunification. Originally published in 1990.

Download or read book Bismarck written by Jonathan Steinberg and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This riveting, New York Times bestselling biography illuminates the life of Otto von Bismarck, the statesman who unified Germany but who also embodied everything brutal and ruthless about Prussian culture. Jonathan Steinberg draws heavily on contemporary writings, allowing Bismarck's friends and foes to tell the story. What rises from these pages is a complex giant of a man: a hypochondriac with the constitution of an ox, a brutal tyrant who could easily shed tears, a convert to an extreme form of evangelical Protestantism who secularized schools and introduced civil divorce. Bismarck may have been in sheer ability the most intelligent man to direct a great state in modern times. His brilliance and insight dazzled his contemporaries. But all agreed there was also something demonic, diabolical, overwhelming, beyond human attributes, in Bismarck's personality. He was a kind of malign genius who, behind the various postures, concealed an ice-cold contempt for his fellow human beings and a drive to control and rule them. As one contemporary noted: "the Bismarck regime was a constant orgy of scorn and abuse of mankind, collectively and individually." In this comprehensive and expansive biography--a brilliant study in power--Jonathan Steinberg brings Bismarck to life, revealing the stark contrast between the "Iron Chancellor's" unmatched political skills and his profoundly flawed human character.
Book Synopsis Bismarck and His Times by : George O. Kent
Download or read book Bismarck and His Times written by George O. Kent and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 1978 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new account of the life and policies of the first German chancellor, Otto von Bismarck, this concise historical-biography reflects, for the first time in English, the historical shift in emphasis from the traditional political-economic approach to the more complex social-economic one of post--World War II scholarship. Since the middle of the 1950s, much new material on Bismarck and nineteenth-century Germany and new interpretations of existing material have been published in Germany, Great Britain, and the United States. Professor George O. Kent's brilliant synthesis, drawing on this mass of material, examines changes in emphasis in post--World War II scholarship. The book, particularly in the historiographical notes and bibliographical essay, provides the serious student with an invaluable guide to the intricacies of recent Bismarckian scholarship. For the general reader, the main text presents a picture of the man, the issues, and the age in the light of modern scholarship. The major shift in historical emphasis described in this new account is the importance scholars give to the period 1877-79, the years of change from free trade to protectionism, rather than to 1870-71 the founding of the Reich. Bismarck's political machinations, particularly his willingness to explore the possibilities of a coup d'état, are more fully discussed here than in any other book.

Download or read book Bismarck and the Development of Germany, Volume II written by Otto Pflanze and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 573 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Period of Consolidation, 1871-1880, Volume II" opens at a time when Bismarck had become the dominant figure in German and European politics and the new German Reich the most formidable power on the continent. Questions arose. What new goals would the man of blood and iron" now pursue? What new conquests might be necessary to satiate a people steeped in the history and legends of medieval empire? Pflanze offers a comprehensive treatment of the years of consolidation, when, in reality, German unification introduced not a new era of conquest and bloodshed but a period of international order that lasted, despite many crises, for more than forty years.

In 1871, after a series of short victorious wars, he unified most of the German states (whilst excluding some, most notably Austria) into a powerful German Empire under Prussian leadership.
