Text/Near New, showing trace margine discoloration. Illustrated soft cover/NF. First published 1977; this is the first Vintage Edition of September 1979. A historical study about Germans and Jews, and of power and money in Germany during the latter half of the 19th century. Winner of the Lionel Trilling Award, the volume reveals the intricate and symbiotic relationship between Jews and Germans as well as interrelations between economics and politics, banking and international affairs. The book focuses on Bismarck (1815-98), driving force behind German unification known to many as 'the Iron Chancellor', and his banker, Prussian Jew Gerson Bleichroder often called 'the German Rothschild'. It is the story of the founding of a new German Empire in which a Jewish minority rose to prominence, seeding, perhaps, eventual pre-occupation with the nation's "anguished ambiguity" of Jewish success. An outstanding study of human dynamics some consider written with the power of our great novels. Fine copy.
