Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Cover Photo Kaiser Wilhelm II, 1910 by E. Bieber (illustrator). 1st Edition. Published as part of the Modern Library Chronicles series, The German Empire, 1870-1918 offers historian Michael Stürmer's concise yet penetrating analysis of the rise, consolidation, and ultimate collapse of Imperial Germany. Stürmer explores the political tensions, social dynamics, and international forces that shaped the Second Reich, tracing how Prussian militarism, industrial expansion, nationalism, and diplomatic entanglements contributed to both German unification and its later destabilization. This Modern Library edition, first issued in 2000, presents the text in an accessible, thematically organized narrative suitable for both scholars and general readers. This copy is the second printing, indicated by the number line '2 4 6 8 9 7 5 3 1.' Bound in illustrated boards featuring the portrait of Kaiser Wilhelm II, the book is clean, tight, and sharp, showing minimal handling. The dust jacket remains bright and intact, with only light shelfwear and minor edge rubbing; it retains the original price on the rear panel. Internally, the text is clean and unmarked except for a prior owner's neat, dated inscription on the title page. Decorative Modern Library endpapers remain vivid, and all pages are crisp with no dog-earing or staining. As part of the respected Modern Library Chronicles series, this volume emphasizes readable synthesis supported by modern scholarship. It includes maps, chronology, a section of key figures, bibliography, and index, providing a solid reference framework. Stürmer, one of Germany's leading historians, brings academic rigor to a compact format, offering a balanced and interpretive portrait of the empire that shaped Europe's entry into the 20th century.
