About this book

Mit einem Beitrag von Christopher Clark, Deutscher Historikerpreis 2010.

In this volume eminent historians compare German and British statesmen in war, from the Seven Years' War to World War II. The subjects of the biographical essays range from Frederick the Great and William Pitt the Elder, William Pitt the Younger and Joseph II, William Gladstone and Bismarck, David George and Wilhelm II, as well as Churchill and Hitler. Differences and similarities in the conduct of warfare and references to the present-day political situation are impressively presented. This collection thus provides important results to stimulate further research.

Reviews

"Der (leider etwas kostspielige) Sammelband bringt manches Neue und sollte, auch wegen seiner sehr anregenden deutsch-britischen vergleichenden Perspektive, in der Fülle gerade der biographisch orientierten Neuerscheinungen nicht übersehen werden."
Hans-Christof Kraus in: Das Historisch-Politische Buch 6/2010
