Sinopse

Otto von Bismarck was more than a politician and a leader: He was the single driving force that turned the disparate states of Germany into one cohesive empire. He then went on to lead Germany and the rest of Europe into an age of political peace that lasted from 1871 until the outbreak of World War I. Under his influence, Germany thrived. Bismarck’s use of statesmanship to fight for the interests of his country was legendary. As one of the most influential and powerful individuals in his country’s history, Bismarck became a symbol of leadership and pride for German nationalists. The historical conception of him was as the "Iron Chancellor", an unbending and untouchable figure.

In his landmark biography of the man of "blood and iron", Emil Ludwig rejects the pedestal that history has placed Bismarck upon, and instead seeks a historical and psychological understanding of the chancellor "as he really was, and not as distorted by worship." Bismarck was not merely a hard and calculating statesman, but a man ruled by pride, courage, and hatred. To fully comprehend the actions this enigmatic and important character, we must first understand his feelings, his motivations, and his private life.

Beginning with Bismarck’s childhood and delving more fully into his early life than any other work, Ludwig’s landmark volume is invaluable in understanding the forces behind one of the most influential men in modern history.

Resumo da Crítica

"As a human portrait of Bismarck...this book will stand long.” ( Saturday Review of Literature)

Resumo editorial

Emil Ludwig, in a translation by Eden and Cedar Paul, delivers an illuminating portrait of the Prussian statesman Otto von Bismarck, who unified Germany through a series of wars. What separates Ludwig's work from mere historical biography, however, is his attempt to demystify Bismarck's mythology and reputation as a ruthless leader by connecting his private life to his public actions. Ken Maxon's inquisitive, dulcet approach keeps the listener fascinated as Ludwig describes Bismarck's early life and rise to power. Bismarck: The Story of a Fighter is a rich analysis that remarkably humanizes Herr Blood and Iron.
