The Kaiser by Annika Mombauer
This 2003 book examines the role of Germany's last emperor, Wilhelm II, focusing on the final years of his reign (19001918). The essays highlight Wilhelm's importance from a number of different foreign and domestic angles, and are based on the thorough research on Wilhelmine Germany.
Review of the hardback: '… excellent collection of essays on Wilhelm II … extraordinary … this book is considerably more than a biography of the KaiserEach essay covers some facet of his life in scholarly detail and gives the reader a deeper insight into the politics of Germany before and during World War I … The editors are to be congratulated on managing to publish a book with such a wide ranging theme by a number of scholars and yet provide a continuity which will intrigue both scholar and lay reader.'
