Baron Friedrich vom Stein's leadership of the reform movement in Prussia has long been considered part of a critically important phase of early nineteenth-century German history. R. C. Raack describes in vivid detail the combination of forces and circumstances which brought about Stein's fall from power as chief minister of Frederick William III. Most of the major Prussian political figures of the period were deeply embroiled in the complex, and sometimes curious, series of events which culminated in the nomination of his successors, and Raack's incisive study provides an enlightening reappraisal of both the roles of the individuals concerned and the intricate domestic political situation.

When Baron Friedrich vom Stein took over the leadership of defeated Prussia in October 1807, the country's territories had been halved, its prewar resources squandered. Prussia's institutions were bankrupt, as was its treasury, and its existence was continually under threat in a Europe dominated by Napoleonic France.
