Bismarck's Shadow targets this idea, as it is a book that unearths a fascinating phenomenon of German political culture - the elevation of a dead political figure, Otto von Bismarck, to the level of a demi-god and the effects of such deification on the course of German politics during the first half of the 20th century.NationalismGermanyHistory19th centuryNationalismGermanyHistory20th centuryPolitical cultureGermanyStatesmenGermanyBiographyConservatismGermanyHistory19th centuryConservatismGermanyHistory20th centuryNational characteristics, GermanLeadershipElectronic books.NationalismHistoryNationalismHistoryPolitical cultureStatesmenConservatismHistoryConservatismHistoryNational characteristics, German.Leadership.306.2/0943/09041Frankel Richard Evan907658MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450563903321Bismarck's shadow2030413UNINA
