Iron Kingdom The Rise and Downfall of Prussia, 1600-1947
'Of the "Great Powers" that dominated Europe from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries, Prussia is the only one to have vanished � Iron Kingdom is not just good: it is everything a history book ought to be � The nemesis of Prussia has cast such a long shadow that German historians have tiptoed around the subject. Thus it was left to an Englishman to write what is surely the best history of Prussia in any language' Sunday Telegraph

I think this book will be best for those who have a background knowledge on Prussia. There was a lot of time spent on the early monarchs but the more modern stuff was skimmed over. A lot of this book skimmed over topics as it’s trying to do a whole history of a state but it’s a good place to get ideas for other topics to research. I learned a lot that I didn’t know before.
