Bismarck and the Creation of the Second Reich by Friedrich Darmstaedter
Chancellor Otto Bismarck's greatness lay in what he created, the German Reich of 1871. Th is Reich was the product of his genius, and in it his genius took complete shape. In less than a decade German chaos was brought to an end and in its place a homogeneous state began to arise. Th e structure of this state left no room for opposing political forces, but rather made ready a roof under which these forces might rally, support each other, and gain strength. Bismarck and the Creation of the Second Reich begins as a biography but continues as a description of his political life and the ideas that led to the birth of an authoritarian political culture.
Friedrich Darmstaedter was former lecturer in philosophy of law and state, Heidelberg and Rome. He is also the author of Political Tendencies from Frederick the Great to Hitler. Eda Sagarra is professor of Germanic Studies at Trinity College, University of Dublin. She is the author of A Social History of Germany 1648-1914 (available from Transaction).
