Otto Eduard Leopold von Bismarck (also Otto Furst von Bismarck), Count of Bismarck-Schönhausen, Duke of Lauenburg, Prince of Bismarck (April 1, 1815 – July 30, 1898), was a Prussian and German statesman of the 19th century. As Minister-President of Prussia from 1862–90, he oversaw the unification of Germany. From 1867 on, he was Chancellor of the North German Confederation. When the second German Empire was formed in 1871, he served as its first Chancellor and practiced Realpolitik which gained him the nickname "Iron Chancellor". As Chancellor, Bismarck held an important role in German government and greatly influenced German and international politics both during and after his time of service.
Un libro absoluto y complejo. No es facil de leer porque Bismarck plasma en sus memorias sus vivencias en primera persona, como si te las contara de toda la vida. Siendo esto un gran problema dado que, empieza a sacar de la manga un millon de personajes historicos que jamas habia oido en mi vida. Fuera de esto, considero que sus memorias son una obra maestra, Bismarck en persona tiene la nobleza de mostrar un aspecto de el desvelando su estrategia, su ideologia y sus vivencias. Un libro ideal para conocer en profundidad a una figura historica que no se le ha dado el credito merecido
