The Kaiser: War Lord Of The Second Reich

By Alan Palmer

Alan Palmer has examined the Anglo-German background to Wilhelm’s life and reign and he emphasizes his changing attitudes towards Britain – a country he both admired and resented. In particular he has thrown new light on the clash of imperial-isms in the 1890s, the Kaiser’s visit to England in 1907 and on the attitude of the British government in the 1930s towards the exiled monarch.

‘The Kaiser’ is the definitive biography of one of the crucial figures of early 20th-century history, and essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the era he dominated.
