Bismarck
This is the life story of one of the most interesting human beings who ever lived. A political genius who remade Europe and united Germany between 1862 and 1890 by the sheer power of his great personality. It takes the reader into close proximity with a human being of almost superhuman abilities. We see him through the eyes of his secretaries, his old friends, his neighbours, his enemies and the press. Otto von Bismarck 'made' Germany but never 'ruled' it. For twenty eight years he acted as a prime minister without a party. He made speeches, brilliant in content but hesitant in delivery, and rarely addressed a public meeting. He planned three wars and after a certain stage in his career alwa...

Bismarck
The awesome figure of Otto von Bismarck, the 'Iron Chancellor', dominated Europe in the late 19th century. His legendary political genius and ruthless will engineered Prussia's stunning defeat of the Austrian Empire and, in 1871, led to his most dazzling achievement - the defeat of France and the unification of Germany. In this highly acclaimed biography, first published in 1981, Edward Crankshaw provides a perceptive look at the career of the First Reich's mighty founder - at his brilliant abilities and severe limitations and at the people who granted him the power to transform the shape and destiny of Europe. "Bismark is a biographical masterpiece, an opus that is truly magnificent." -The Spectator
Bismarck
When the German Battleship Bismarck was commissioned in 1940 she was one of the fastest and most powerful ships afloat. To the Royal Navy and the security of Allied shipping in the Atlantic she posed an enormous threat she must be destroyed. When she broke out into the Atlantic in 1941, some of Britains most powerful ships were sent to pursue and sink her. The first encounter proved disastrous for the British Battleship HMS Hood, which was sunk at 0800 on 24 May. Bismarck had sustained several hits from HMS Prince of Wales but the Royal Navy were unsure of the extent of the damage and whether she would attempt to return to Germany for major repairs or sail for France to lick her wounds....
Bismarck
Le portrait tout en nuances d'un homme politique d'exception qui a forgé l'Allemagne moderne et dominé la scène européenne. Bismarck domine par sa stature et ses succès l'histoire européenne du XIXe siècle. Après avoir vaincu l'Autriche-Hongrie en 1866, il défait la France du Second Empire en 1870, ce qui lui permet de proclamer l'Empire allemand, sous la prééminence de la Prusse, dont il est le chancelier. Pour mieux dominer le continent, ce pragmatique oriente les puissances adverses vers la colonisation au congrès de Berlin, tandis qu'il pose en Allemagne les jalons d'une politique sociale d'envergure pour contrer la montée du socialisme. Afin de contenir la volonté de revanche de la France amputée de l'Alsace et de la Lorraine, il inaugure l'entente des trois empereurs, qui ne survivra pas à sa chute. En reniant son héritage, Guillaume II précipitera l'Allemagne à sa perte.
