Summary:

Bismark was a dominant figure in 19th century Europe. This book examines the development of his political method, the evolution of his policies on German unification and his views on nationalism and liberalism. Analyzing the private and public pressure which shaped Bismark's personality and attitudes in various fields, Brace Waller assesses the man, his work and his legacy in the light of modern research.

This book is updated in a new edition to take account of recent scholarship and the changing perspective afforded by recent developments in Germany. The author extends coverage to provide fuller analysis of Bismarck's personality and his role in modern European politics and includes a chapter of Bismarck and the German reunification'.
