Synopsis
'Fluently written and convincingly argued, Blood and Iron is a brilliant account of an important period of history, and one that marks the arrival of a major new talent.' - Daily Telegraph
'The best biography of the Second Reich in years ... It will undoubtedly become the essential account of this vitally important part of European history.' - Andrew Roberts
'Outstanding, authoritative and gripping.' - Simon Sebag Montefiore
Before 1871, Germany was not yet a nation but simply an idea. Otto von Bismarck had a formidable task at hand. How would he bring thirty-nine individual states under the yoke of a single Kaiser, convincing proud Prussians, Bavarians and Rhinelanders to become Germans? Once united, could the young European nation wield enough power to rival the empires of Britain and France – all without destroying itself in the process?
In a unique study of five decades that changed the course of modern history, Katja Hoyer tells the story of the German Empire from its violent beginnings to its calamitous defeat in the First World War. This often-startling narrative is a dramatic tale of national self-discovery, social upheaval and realpolitik that ended, as it started, in blood and iron.

Condition: Muy bueno. : Blood and Iron: The Rise and Fall of the German Empire 1871-1918' es una brillante narración de Katja Hoyer sobre un período importante de la historia. Antes de 1871, Alemania no era una nación, sino una idea. Otto von Bismarck tenía una tarea formidable: ¿cómo uniría a treinta y nueve estados individuales bajo el yugo de un solo Kaiser, convenciendo a los orgullosos prusianos, bávaros y renanos de que se convirtieran en alemanes? Una vez unida, ¿podría la joven nación europea ejercer suficiente poder para rivalizar con los imperios de Gran Bretaña y Francia, sin destruirse en el proceso? En un estudio único de cinco décadas que cambiaron el curso de la historia moderna, Katja Hoyer cuenta la historia del Imperio alemán desde sus violentos comienzos hasta su calamitosa derrota en la Primera Guerra Mundial. Esta narrativa a menudo sorprendente es una historia dramática de autodescubrimiento nacional, agitación social y realpolitik que terminó, como comenzó, en sangre y hierro.
