In a remarkably vibrant narrative, Michael St�rmer blends high politics, social history, portraiture, and an unparalleled command of military and economic developments to tell the story of Germany�s breakneck rise from new nation to Continental superpower. It begins with the German military�s greatest triumph, the Franco-Prussian War, and then tracks the forces of unification, industrialization, colonization, and militarization as they combined to propel Germany to become the force that fatally destabilized Europe�s balance of power. Without The German Empire�s masterly rendering of this story, a full understanding of the roots of World War I and World War II is impossible.
