Very interesting book. Not written in an academic style, the author is a journalist. Between 1870 and 1945 Germany lived in a rumorous time. Under Kaiser Bismarck (until 1890) the domestic world was rumorous and the foreign world was quite peaceful; under Kaiser Wilhelm (until 1914) it was exactly the other way around. That time, many things happened in Germany: reading the book once is not enough π
