In this compelling biography, historian A. J. P. Taylor reevaluates Bismarck's motives and methods, focusing on the chancellor's rise to power in the 1860s and his removal from office in 1890.

"Mr. Taylor has performed the difficult task of compressing the most earth-shaking career between Napoleon and Hitler into fewer than 300 pages with conspicuous success." ( Times Literary Supplement)
Excellent Historical Insights • Balanced Perspective • Complex Personality • Informative Content • Vital Historical Context

The writing and narration are excellent. The book assumes you know basic history of the time, which I did not. However, by pausing and looking up a few things, I was able to understand. Getting a sense as to who Bismarck was as an individual was excellent.

Excellent book

The narrator makes a great effort to pronounce foreign works and names correctly. He did an excellent job.

considering the mediocre reviews this books received online, I found it interesting, well paced, and reasonably balanced

surprisingly good

Would you believe I was assigned this in a ninth grade history class. That was back in 1970 when students actually read books. Taylor went against the popular view that Bismarck was the master manipulator of European diplomacy. A view largely popularized by Bismarck himself. Taylor describes him much more of an opportunist. One who would take up a cause and abandon it just as quickly if it suited his interests. It didn’t take all that much chicanery to trick the French into war when they were so eager to do it in the first place.

Old school history

I have read many biographies including Churchill, Neopoleon, Grant, Hoover, Eisenhower and more
this does not follow the norm. Typically we learn of the subect's early years and the formation of the person and the leaderl they become. We learn of either privilege or austere up bringings and how these form their decisions later in life. Most writers bring life to their subject with clever stories, opionions and insight. This book does none of that. it jumps in and has all the depth and passion of a business journal I can't recommend this book.

Not what I expected

a good history, written with wit and attention to detail, but absolutely dense with minute and somewhat opaque historical references a newcomer to Bismarck will have practically no way of understanding. Those hoping for more personal, anecdotal material may also be disappointed. This is a work that keeps the focus strictly on the minutiae of Bismarck's domestic and foreign intrigues. In the end, one gets a clear sense of the statesman, but perhaps not the man. His close political allies, associates and other contemporaries are also extremely submerged in this account. One doesn't get a sense of how he interacted with these people on a personal level. Only the great chancellor and William 1 truly occupy the stage in this telling. To get the most out of this book requires a robust and broad understanding of the period and it's principal actors; a deep dive for those looking for a blow by blow account of his intricate, behind the scenes policy manouevers. A little dry, slighly myopic at times, but a solid work.

Good, but read a primer first

I learned as much about European history as I did about Bismarck and how all of it mirrors today’s politics.

Very educational

This is a good introduction to Bismarck. Vital to understanding modern Germany and Europe. We mostly get the British version of European history. It's refreshing to get other points of view.

A very good overview

Some parts of this biography are a bit vague especially for someone uninformed of 19th century, but overall it is a solid biography about a great man!

Nice info

This was my first experience with AJP Taylor. Not a typical biography with a firm narrative structure, but an excellent study in the great man’s character and decision making. A little knowledge about the period and some of the players is probably helpful, but if you’ve got that, it’s a great listen.

Definitely technical, but also excellent
