How did Bismarck, Germany's greatest nineteenth century leader, extend and maintain his power? This volume, in the best-selling Profile in Power series, examines his strengths as statesman and all the facets of his political career. As the architect of Germany's change from cultural region to political nation he combined egotism and brilliance exceptionally, yet it was not enough to save him from dismissal by William II. His many direct achievements, including, the unification of Germany and the expansion of Prussia, are examined in this short, concise study.
