Within a couple of decades, Kaiser Wilhlem II has led the German Reich into World War and collapse. How did the Kaiser come to have so much power? Using new archival sources, this book analyzes the Kaiser and the nature of his rule, including the neo-absolutist culture of his court and of Berlin society and the extent of his anti-Semitism.
