Focusing on the final years of his reign (1900-1918), this collection of essays examines the role of Germany's last emperor, Wilhelm II, by highlighting his importance from different perspectives: domestic and foreign policy, and public opinion. It is based on the latest research on Wilhelmine Germany, as well as new archival evidence, and thus presents the most up-to-date interpretation of the monarch. The volume also pays tribute to Professor John Röhl, Wilhelm II's most famous biographer, on the occasion of his 65th birthday.

Review
"...this book has much to offer." Military Review, David J. Schepp
"This unfortunate monarch, however ultimately bankrupt her may have been, deserves the enlightening scrutiny this book provides, to say nothing of the assiduous, magisterial biography now being brought toward conclusion by the man whom it worthily honors." - Lamar Cecil, Washington and Lee University
