Otto Bismarck 
Bismarck, The Man and The Statesman Vol. II [EPUB ebook] 

"Politics is the art of the possible, " Otto Von Bismarck famously said, and here, in his own words, the art of politics is laid bare by one of the most prominent and influential European statesmen of the nineteenth century. These are the intimate reflections and reminiscences of the man who unified the independent Germanic states into one nation, and whose subsequent promotion of the new country’s colonial ambitions earned him the title of the founder of the German empire. This first volume of what must be considered an essential historical document details Bismarck’s early life, from the political views of his youth and his entrance into public life through his work in government ministries and his time at the Court of Munich. It is vital reading for any informed, in-depth understanding of modern European history.-Print ed.
