Blood and Iron: The Rise and Fall of the German Empire by Katja Hoyer

informative medium-paced

4.5

A brilliant yet succinct characterization of the first unified German nation. I honestly really enjoyed this book and have to give kudos to the author for making the language very accessible. She didn’t beat around the bush and was good at pushing the narrative forward without meandering. It is definitely a great introduction to this era of German history.
