Beschreibung

In his own words, Otto von Bismarck describes his rise to prominence in European politics, and his pivotal role in establishing the modern German state.
Famously shrewd and adept in his dealings with the various power players of 19th century Europe, Bismarck makes no secret of his skilled diplomacy and statecraft. The early phase of this book follows his years as a rising star in the Prussian political arena, meeting with various nobles and political figures, establishing rapport and hashing out deals and co-operative agreements. The net result of Bismarck’s mediations was a more cohesive politics; where once landowners and nobility would squabble, they instead trended towards working in constructive union in matters such as industry and development. Yet Bismarck also made many enemies, and on occasion resorted to war to achieve his long-term goals.
The many meetings and partnerships culminated dramatically in 1871 with the formal unification of Germany. As the first Chancellor of a national entity he established, Bismarck became the most powerful leader in European politics. An era of prosperity and peace was achieved under his unique stewardship; much of Bismarck’s effort as a mature statesman went into avoiding violent conflict, and encouraging vigorous diplomacy between the powers. A complex and debated figure to this day, Bismarck’s autobiography displays the rational and emotional traits for which he was known.
