Product Information
Kaiser Wilhelm II, Queen Victoria's eldest grandchild, took over the running of the powerful German Reich from Bismarck and within a couple of decades had led it into world war and collapse. How did the Kaiser come to have so much power? Why was there no one to help him steer a less disastrous course? This book analyses these crucial questions with the help of a wealth of new archival sources. The book begins with a character-sketch of the Kaiser which provides new and alarming insights into his personality. It then looks, crucially, at the Kaiser's friends and favourites, the neo-absolutist culture of the court and of Berlin court society, and at the nature of his relationship with the court on the one hand and with the administrative 'pyramid' in Prussia and the Reich on the other. The book makes clear that these bureaucrats and diplomats had neither the means nor the will to oppose the overwhelming determination of the Kaiser and his close friends and advisers in directing the policies of the most dynamic and volatile state in Europe. The dangerous consequences of this situation led to the brink of world war as early as December 1912. A final chapter reveals for the first time the appalling extent and nature of the exiled Kaiser's anti-semitism.

Reviews
'The Kaiser and his Court is solid and speculative; it is cautious and provocative. It is brilliant history.'Washington Times, ‘The Kaiser and his Court is solid and speculative; it is cautious and provocative. It is brilliant history.’Washington Times, "Years of imaginative spadework in private archives and in former East Germany have unearthed new sources, chief among them the staggeringly detailed correspondence of Wilhelm's parents...It is unlikely that another biography of Wilhelm will ever surpass the level of detail or the depth of archival knowledge Röhl has achieved." Isabel V. Hull, Journal of Modern History, "John Röhl's account of the early years of the late German Kaiser Wilhelm II contains...some of the most monstrous material of modern history; and since the details of this material are for the most part new, brought to light after years of research in previously closed archives, its publication must be regarded as an important event in historical scholarship." Gustav Seibt, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, "John Röhl has written a masterly series of essays on the Kaiser, as William II came to be called throughout the West....his documentation is impressive." New York Review of Books, '… cool, spare, scholarly. But for all that, John Rhl has written a startling, even sensational book … [his] brilliant study chillingly reveals Kaiser Wilhelm II as a grandparent of the great horrors of the twentieth century.' Peter Bradshaw, The Evening Standard, "Mr. Rohl writes with the concision and delight in language of a poet and with the rigor and infectious love of documents of the true historian. The style and structure of his book increase its accessibility to general readers....The Kaiser and His Court is solid and speculative; it is cautious and provocative. It is brilliant history." Washington Times, "The morbid charm of Europe's high noblility has evidently cast its spell over the author. Not only their love affairs but also their illnesses exert a quite irresistable attraction....His account of the Crown Prince's fatal illness with cancer of the larynx which dominates the last 200 pages...must be the most exact medical record ever written by an historican." Volker Ullrich, Die Zeit, 'The Kaiser and his Court is solid and speculative; it is cautious and provocative. It is brilliant history.' Washington Times, '... cool, spare, scholarly. But for all that, John Röhl has written a startling, even sensational book ... [his] brilliant study chillingly reveals Kaiser Wilhelm II as a grandparent of the great horrors of the twentieth century.' Peter Bradshaw, The Evening Standard, "Rohl has established himself as one of the leading kaiser experts." Raffael Scheck, Central European History, ‘… cool, spare, scholarly. But for all that, John Röhl has written a startling, even sensational book … [his] brilliant study chillingly reveals Kaiser Wilhelm II as a grandparent of the great horrors of the twentieth century.’Peter Bradshaw, The Evening Standard, "John Röhl has written a startling, even a sensational book....John Röhl's brilliant study chillingly reveals Kaiser Wilhelm II as a grandparent of the great horrors of the 20th century."
