Germany's Second Reich: Portraits and Pathways

by James Retallack

Book Overview

In Germany's Second Reich, James Retallack continues his career-long inquiry into the era of Bismarck and Kaiser Wilhelm II with a wide-ranging reassessment of the period and its connections with past traditions and future possibilities.
