The Sleepwalkers is historian Christopher Clark's riveting account of the explosive beginnings of World War I.

In the aftermath of World War II, Prussia - a centuries-old state pivotal to Europe's development - ceased to exist. In their eagerness to erase all traces of the Third Reich from the earth, the Allies believed that Prussia, the very embodiment of German militarism, had to be abolished. But as Christopher Clark reveals in this pioneering history, Prussia's legacy is far more complex.

As history, the uprisings of 1848 have long been overshadowed by the French Revolution of 1789 and the Russian revolutions of the early twentieth century. And yet in 1848 nearly all of Europe was aflame with conflict. Parallel political tumults spread like brush fire across the entire continent, leading to significant changes that continue to shape our world today. These battles for the future were fought with one eye kept squarely on the past. Revolutionary Spring is a new understanding of 1848 that offers chilling parallels to our present moment.

The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914 is historian Christopher Clark’s riveting account of the explosive beginnings of World War I. Drawing on new scholarship, Clark offers a fresh look at World War I, focusing not on the battles and atrocities of the war itself, but on the complex events and relationships that led a group of well-meaning leaders into brutal conflict.

Lange Zeit galt es als ausgemacht, dass das deutsche Kaiserreich wegen seiner Großmachtträume die Hauptverantwortung am Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs trug. In seinem bahnbrechenden neuen Werk kommt der renommierte Historiker und Bestsellerautor Christopher Clark (Preußen) zu einer anderen Einschätzung.

Wie entsteht Macht? Wie wird sie begründet und erhalten? Und welche Rolle spielen dabei Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft? Anhand von Kurfürst Friedrich Wilhelm, Friedrich II., Otto von Bismarck und dem NS-Regime analysiert Bestseller-Autor Christopher Clark, wie unterschiedlich Geschichtsbewusstsein und die eigene Verortung in der Geschichte bei den verschiedenen Machthabern ist. Inmitten des Brexit, der Präsidentschaft von Donald Trump ‎und Putins vierter Amtszeit, wirft Clark aber auch einen kritischen Blick auf unsere eigene Epoche und die momentanen Strukturen von Selbstlegitimation und Machtverständnis.
