Konrad Adenauer was one of modern Germany's great statesmen and perhaps its most remarkable representative: his long life spanned all important epochs, ranging from Bismarckian Empire to the Federal Republic. We are therefore pleased to present the second volume of this major biography in English, written by one of Germany's most influential historians. Using previously inaccessible records kept by Adenauer's closest colleagues and only recently released official documents, Hans-Peter Schwarz is able to cast new light on controversial aspects of many of Adenauer's policy decisions and draw a detailed picture of Adenauer's rise to power.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"... a masterly work ... that belongs to the best which has been written about the postwar era ... The wealth of new sources - written as well as oral - is amazing." * Suddeutsche Zeitung "Both the inherent interest of the life story being told and the impressive material researched lend this book scholarly weight. Using Adenauer's long life and varied career as a lens through which to examine the history of Germany, especially the postwar Federal Republic, Schwarz' biography was something of a literary sensation after its publication in Germany. This translation, which represents the first full-scale scholarly biography of Adenauer in English, should be welcomed by all interested in contemporary Germany and European history ... This translation is to be welcomed for making an important scholarly work accessible to a broader audience, and it deserves a wider reading." * Central European History (2000)
