Synopsis
Winner of the Wolfson History Prize, Christopher Clark's Iron Kingdom: The Rise and Downfall of Prussia 1600-1947 is a compelling account of a country that played a pivotal role in Europe's fortunes and fundamentally shaped our world. Prussia began as a medieval backwater, but transformed itself into a major European power and the force behind the creation of the German empire, until it was finally abolished by the Allies after the Second World War. With great flair and authority, Christopher Clark describes Prussia's great battles, dynastic marriages and astonishing reversals of fortune, its brilliant and charismatic leaders from the Hohenzollerns of Brandenburg to Bismarck and Frederick the Great, the military machine and the progressive, enlightened values on which it was built. 'Fascinating ... masterly ... littered with intriguing detail and wry observation'
Richard Overy, Daily Telegraph 'A terrific book ... the definitive history of this much-maligned state'
Daily Telegraph Books of the Year 'You couldn't have the triumph and the tragedy of Prussia better told'
Observer 'A magisterial history of Europe's only extinct power'
Financial Times 'Exemplary ... an illuminating, profoundly satisfying work of history'
The New York Times Christopher Clark is a lecturer in Modern European History at St Catharine's College, University of Cambridge. He is also the author of Kaiser Wilhelm II: A Life in Power.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Winner of the Wolfson History Prize'Of the \"Great Powers\" that dominated Europe from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries, Prussia is the only one to have vanished . Iron Kingdom is not just good- it is everything a history book ought to be . The nemesis of Prussia has cast such a long shadow that German historians have tiptoed around the subject. Thus it was left to an Englishman to write what is surely the best history of Prussia in any language' Sunday Telegraph With great flair and authority, the author describes Prussia's great battles, dynastic marriages and astonishing reversals of fortune, its brilliant and charismatic leaders from the Hohenzollerns of Brandenburg to Bismarck and Frederick the Great, the military machine and the progressive, enlightened values on which it was built.
