Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Prince Bismarck During the later fifties, when I visited Germany for the first time, my interest was aroused by the fascination which the name of Bismarck seemed to exercise among the people. From that time until his death I followed his career with admiration, and having gathered a large amount of material relating to it, I finally decided to arrange it in the form of a narrative of his life. Since his death two books have appeared. Many of the statements in the first are surrounded by such probable improbabilities that few people, I should think, will care to preserve it as a credible record of his great life. With regard to the second, while it must always remain sacred to admirers of the hero, and of great value to historians, one cannot but feel that it is the product of a time of life when that clear eye had become somewhat dim, and that strong right hand had lost somewhat of its cunning; or that, at least, the great Chancellor's passionate nature had become so mellowed that much that one would expect to be tersely told is merely pleasantly related, whilst there are complete blanks on matters which it was eagerly expected his book would explain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Prince Otto Von Bismarck Bismarck's memoirs, although his advanced age is sometimes perceptible in them, contain a mine of wisdom for the practical statesman; and yet they are not in the true sense an autobiography, for they are not a record of the man's own life. Likewise there are valuable incidents in Dr. Busch's voluminous sketches of the German chancellor; but Dr. Busch's acquaintance with his employer only began in 1870, and he makes no attempt to explain Bismarck's policy or how he accomplished his mighty work. Mr. Lowe's larger English life of Bismarck is a dignified study of the subject, but it was published many years before his death, and is written too much from the English Tory and monarchical stand-point to please American readers. Von Sybel's history of the foundation of the new German empire contains the only adequate statement of Bismarck's statecraft between 1862 and 1870; but the period comprising the last twenty-five years of his life was hardly less important than that which immediately preceded it. What Americans now require is a clear statement of the character of the man, the principal events of his life, and an explanation of his policy as related to the historical events of his time. This is what I have undertaken to give in the present volume. In order to do Bismarck justice, however, we should divest ourselves for the time of our national antipathy to royalty.

CHAPTER VIIJ THE NORTH GERMAN CONFEDERATION The chief obstacle to parliamentary government in Germany lies in the national characteristic which is called particularism. "Every German," said Bismarck, "has an idea of his own, which he holds on to like a nugget of gold." This prevents their fusing together in political parties, as the English and Americans do, and it is natural that the better educated they are the more prominent this peculiarity appears. The old map of Germany--large states and small states, states separated by other states, and states within states--was a very good picture of the German mind. The tendency of national unity has been to diminish the number of political parties in Germany, but they are still numerous, and their description is bewildering. At the same time the Germans have a national impulse, --an idea of their destiny as a nation, --and this unites them at times, so that they seem to act almost like one man, after which, having accomplished the special work in hand, they relapse into particularism again. This is especially true of the Prussians. After the peace of Prague, Bismarck found his countrymen in this unified condition. The NationaAssembly passed his budget with but few dissenting votesjpd when a committee from the House waited on the king to announce this fortunate event, his Majesty remarked that he hoped that the preceding disagreement between himself and his people would never happen again. It never has happened since, and this goes far to prove that the era when Bismarck first accepted the presidency was a revolutionary one, a bloodless conflict between the people and their government, in which the government for once was in the right, and exceptional measures were justifiable. The army...

Download or read book Bismarck written by Jonathan Steinberg and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-06 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This riveting, New York Times bestselling biography illuminates the life of Otto von Bismarck, the statesman who unified Germany but who also embodied everything brutal and ruthless about Prussian culture. Jonathan Steinberg draws heavily on contemporary writings, allowing Bismarck's friends and foes to tell the story. What rises from these pages is a complex giant of a man: a hypochondriac with the constitution of an ox, a brutal tyrant who could easily shed tears, a convert to an extreme form of evangelical Protestantism who secularized schools and introduced civil divorce. Bismarck may have been in sheer ability the most intelligent man to direct a great state in modern times. His brilliance and insight dazzled his contemporaries. But all agreed there was also something demonic, diabolical, overwhelming, beyond human attributes, in Bismarck's personality. He was a kind of malign genius who, behind the various postures, concealed an ice-cold contempt for his fellow human beings and a drive to control and rule them. As one contemporary noted: "the Bismarck regime was a constant orgy of scorn and abuse of mankind, collectively and individually." In this comprehensive and expansive biography--a brilliant study in power--Jonathan Steinberg brings Bismarck to life, revealing the stark contrast between the "Iron Chancellor's" unmatched political skills and his profoundly flawed human character.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prince Bismarck: An Historical Biography It is given to many a man, of whom history takes no note, to advance in some degree the greatness and prosperity of his country. It is given to a few men in each century so to guide the forward movement of their people, that the progress made seems mainly due to their initiative, and becomes indissolubly linked with their names. Among these few there is sometimes one who has the chance to deal with a question vital to his land and ready for solution, and who brings the intelligence and energy necessary to solve it; who leads his nation through a crisis in its destiny to the goal of centuries of desire and effort; whose achievements make all that has been done before seem tentative and preparatory - a series of episodes to which his success gives dramatic roundness and conclusion. This has been the happy fortune of Prince Bismarck. He is the unifier of Germany; and, in the light of this result, the complicated and often perplexing course of German history seems after all to have a distinct central motive; viz., the struggle for a satisfactory national organization - for unity. All the German tribes were brought beneath one sceptre, that of Charles the Great, at the beginning of the ninth century. But the Frankish conquests did not create a German nation, for the various German tribes were only parts of a universal European empire. With the final division of this empire in 887, it seemed that the basis was laid for a great German state.
