Two German Giants

Frederick the Great and Bismarck

Sketches of Frederic the Great and Otto Von Bismarck, the two great architects of the Prussian empire. Also includes Bismarck’s speech given before the Reichstag in 1888 on the enlargement of the German army. This brief book will give a just and lucid view of the parts they played in war, diplomacy, and statecraft, which have shaped the life of Germany and profoundly affected the course of continental Europe for two centuries.

First published in 1894, this edition is derived from the original book with 2 black & white portraits. As always, this edition is complete and unabridged.
