Description
"Great contemporary issues are not solved with words, but with iron and blood"—this is how Otto von Bismarck formulated Prussia’s foreign-policy principle at the beginning of the 1860s. Guided by this postulate of the Iron Chancellor, the unification of German lands began. The novel “For the Scepter and the Crown,” which opens a cycle about the fates of Europe’s great powers, tells of the fierce confrontation between Berlin and Vienna. On the pages of this large-scale, gripping tapestry, we see the era’s biggest historical figures moving before us: Bismarck and the King of Prussia Wilhelm, the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph and France’s Emperor Napoleon III, Russia’s foreign minister Prince Gorchakov, and many others. The clash of wills and ruthless intrigues, the brilliance of diplomatic salons, the powder-smoke of battles, the glory and fate of world history—all come alive under the pen of the “German Dumas,” Gregor Samarov.
