Description & Specifications

Awarded the Wolfson History Prize, Christopher Clark's book "Iron Kingdom: The Rise and Downfall of Prussia 1600-1947" offers a fascinating narrative about a country that played a pivotal role in the fate of Europe and shaped our world. Prussia began as a medieval outpost but transformed into a significant European power and the driving force behind the creation of the German Empire, until it was eventually abolished by the Allies after World War II. With great finesse and authoritative style, Christopher Clark describes Prussia's major battles, dynastic marriages, and surprising twists of fate, the brilliant and charismatic leaders from the Hohenzollerns of Brandenburg to Bismarck and Frederick the Great, the military mechanism, and the progressive, enlightened values upon which it was founded.

Christopher Clark is a lecturer in Modern European History at St Catharine's College, University of Cambridge. He is also the author of "Kaiser Wilhelm II: A Life in Power".
