Iron Kingdom – The Rise and Downfall of Prussia 1600-1917

Christopher Clark`s “Iron Kingdom” looks at the rise and fall of one of the world`s great powers, when Prussia dominated Europe for three and a half centuries.Prussia`s power came from a sequence of notable rulers (most famously Frederick the Great), dynastic marriage and an obsessive focus on military excellence. It was both a progressive, well-run, enlightened country and a huge, threatening barracks. “Iron Kingdom” is a gripping look at a state which in many ways has shaped our world.
