'Tautly written and thoroughly researched, Feuchtwanger's Bismarck
... is marvellous at digesting and presenting mountains of
research.' - Geoffrey Wawro, University of North Texas‘It is good
to have so accessible a biography of Bismarck in one volume.
Feuchtwanger takes account of much of the recent writing on the
history of the period. Especially valuable is the highlighting of
connections between Bismarck’s domestic and foreign policies.’ John
Breuilly, University of Birmingham
