Iron Kingdom
With great flair and authority, the author describes Prussia's great battles, dynastic marriages and astonishing reversals of fortune, its brilliant and charismatic leaders from the Hohenzollerns of Brandenburg to Bismarck and Frederick the Great, the military machine and the progressive, enlightened values on which it was built.

Description
Winner of the Wolfson History Prize
Of the “Great Powers” that dominated Europe from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries, Prussia is the only one to have vanished. Iron Kingdom is not just good; it is everything a history book ought to be. The nemesis of Prussia has cast such a long shadow that German historians have tiptoed around the subject. Thus it was left to an Englishman to write what is surely the best history of Prussia in any language.
