about this book

A witty and brilliant portrait, psychological as well as political, of one of the men who molded the destiny of modern Europe. Taylor's reexamination of Bismarck focuses on his rise to power in the 1860s and his removal from office in 1890.

"...Mr. Taylor has performed the difficult task of compressing the most earth-shaking career between Napoleon and Hitler into fewer than 300 pages with conspicuous success."--London Times Literary Supplement

"...this biography...combines scholarship with enthusiasm and possesses such rare charm that the temperature of our interest rises to zest."--Harold Nicolson, London Observer
