The essays highlight the Kaiser's relationship with statesmen and rulers; his role in international relations; the erosion of his power during the First World War; and his ultimate downfall in 1918. The book demonstrates the extent to which Wilhelm II was able to exercise 'personal rule', largely unopposed by the responsible government, and supported in his decision-making by his influential entourage. The essays are based on thorough and far-reaching research and on a wide range of archival sources. Written to honour the innovative work of John Ro?hl, Wilhelm II's most famous biographer, on his sixty-fifth birthday, the essays within this volume will continue to provide an exciting evaluation of the role and importance of this controversial monarch. 607 $aGermany$xKings and rulers$vBiography 607 $aGermany$xPolitics and government$y1888-1918 607 $aGermany$xMilitary policy 607 $aGermany$xForeign relations$y1888-1918 676 $a940.08/4/092 686 $a15.70$2bcl 702 $aMombauer$b Annika 702 $aDeist$b Wilhelm 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784442403321 996 $aThe Kaiser$93675868 997 $aUNINA
