Wilhelm II (1859-1941), King of Prussia and German Emperor from 1888 to 1918, reigned in the course of a interval of remarkable fiscal, cultural, and highbrow fulfillment in Germany. This quantity completes Lamar Cecil's prize-winning scholarly biography of the Kaiser, one in all sleek history's so much powerful--and so much misunderstood--rulers.

As Cecil indicates, Wilhelm's deepest existence displays a deeply afflicted and intensely superficial guy. however the book's greater concentration is on Wilhelm as a head of kingdom. Cecil lines the occasions of the years best as much as international struggle I, a interval that provides plentiful facts of the Kaiser's inept behavior of overseas affairs, particularly relatives with England. as soon as struggle broke out, his generals and statesmen stored him at the sidelines. He was once dethroned on November nine, 1918, while a socialist republic was once tested in Berlin, and he fled in exile to Holland, the place he resided for the rest twenty-three years of his existence, operating energetically, yet to no avail, for his recovery to the throne.
