The Kaiser
Author: Annika Mombauer
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139440608
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
This collection of innovative essays examining the role of Wilhelm II in Imperial Germany was first published in 2003, particularly on the later years of the monarch's reign. The essays highlight the Kaiser's relationship with statesmen and rulers; his role in international relations; the erosion of his power during the First World War; and his ultimate downfall in 1918. The book demonstrates the extent to which Wilhelm II was able to exercise 'personal rule', largely unopposed by the responsible government, and supported in his decision-making by his influential entourage. The essays are based on thorough and far-reaching research and on a wide range of archival sources. Written to honour the innovative work of John Röhl, Wilhelm II's most famous biographer, on his sixty-fifth birthday, the essays within this volume will continue to provide an exciting evaluation of the role and importance of this controversial monarch.

Talks with T. R.: (Annotated)
Author: John Leary Jr
Publisher: BIG BYTE BOOKS
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
Whatever you think of Teddy Roosevelt, it cannot be argued that he was one of America's most dynamic presidents. In this series of conversations recorded by Jack Leary, you'll see a side of Roosevelt you may not have seen before. Thoughtful, analytic, and outrageous, T.R. seldom fails to entertain and to hold his audience enthralled. On the topic of women in high office, T.R. simply said, "Why not?" John Joseph Leary, Jr. (1874 – 1944) was a 1920 Pulitzer Prize winning journalist who was fortunate to spend time with T.R. before his death. Politics, family, and war are featured among the rich collection of conversations here. T.R. even discusses his own psychology: “I suppose it is another manifestation of my general bloodthirsty, swashbuckling frame of mind, my fondness for the big stick and violence of all kinds. I want my country to be right; I hope she always will be right; but right or wrong, whatever she gets into I am going to be with her until she gets out. Then if there is any correcting to do, I’ll try and do my share. And I am not prepared to concede the possibility of error in that doctrine by agreeing to debate it with anybody." This intimate view of President Roosevelt will keep you engaged from cover to cover. Buy it today.
