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".
The story of the Prussian state is also the story of the story of the Prussian state, for the Prussian state made up its history as it went along, developing an ever more elaborate account of its trajectoty in the past and its purposes in the present. (查看原文)
To the injunction of his brutish father: ‘be an honest fellow, just be honest’, the teen-age Frederick had responded with a sly, foppish civility, striking the pose of the wry, dissembling, morally agnostic outsider. In a letter of 1734 to his former tutor, the Huguenot Duhan de Jandun, he compared himself to a mirror that, being obliged to reflect its surroundings, ‘does not dare to be what nature made it’.18 A tendency to efface himself as a subject, as an individual, runs like a red thread through his writings. It can be found in the affected stoicism of his wartime correspondence, in the sarcasm and pastiche with which he kept even close associates at a distance, and in his inclination, when reflecting on matters of political principle, to merge the person of the king into the abstract...

在出中文版前夜看完了。写的太好了，爆炸哭泣……普鲁士这个国家太迷人了XD 感觉对欧洲史不太了解的会不是很友好，但知道一点背景就能看得很爽。希望中文版翻译能给力一点！虽然标题翻成“钢铁帝国”简直吐槽不能！

普鲁士跟秦有点像啊，二者都来自边陲之地，都以武德闻世，都统一国家，也都在统一国家后快速灭亡(秦二世而亡，普鲁士在建立德意志帝国后，也只延续了五十年)二者也都毁誉参半，国人对秦，有誉其一统中夏，百代都行秦政法者，也有责其专制之制流毒至今者。德国人之于普鲁士也是如此，右派怀思普鲁士之精神，左派指责普鲁士为纳粹主义的先驱。不过，细究下来，普鲁士比秦还是好太多了，我们现代的义务教育制度社会保障制度，很大程... 普鲁士跟秦有点像啊，二者都来自边陲之地，都以武德闻世，都统一国家，也都在统一国家后快速灭亡(秦二世而亡，普鲁士在建立德意志帝国后，也只延续了五十年)二者也都毁誉参半，国人对秦，有誉其一统中夏，百代都行秦政法者，也有责其专制之制流毒至今者。德国人之于普鲁士也是如此，右派怀思普鲁士之精神，左派指责普鲁士为纳粹主义的先驱。不过，细究下来，普鲁士比秦还是好太多了，我们现代的义务教育制度社会保障制度，很大程度就是来自于普鲁士，而且普鲁士君主的绝对主义再绝对，也不可能比得过秦始皇秦二世这样的独夫民贼的暴政 (展开)

恐怕为当前世界范围内普鲁士研究的巅峰之作，作者笔触之细腻，逻辑之严谨，思想之深度，视野之全面足以另其他普鲁士著作黯然失色，克里斯托弗没有拘泥于霍亨索伦王朝的兴衰成败，而是放眼整个普鲁士社会的人情百态，并没有简单归纳出所谓的普鲁士美德，而是细致分析普鲁士国家内部所具有的辉煌，矛盾，真正尽可能的还原了普鲁士这个国家的一呼一吸，为读者展示出一个既不冷峻也不完美，既不血性也不懦弱，但仍然能让读者为之动容的... 恐怕为当前世界范围内普鲁士研究的巅峰之作，作者笔触之细腻，逻辑之严谨，思想之深度，视野之全面足以另其他普鲁士著作黯然失色，克里斯托弗没有拘泥于霍亨索伦王朝的兴衰成败，而是放眼整个普鲁士社会的人情百态，并没有简单归纳出所谓的普鲁士美德，而是细致分析普鲁士国家内部所具有的辉煌，矛盾，真正尽可能的还原了普鲁士这个国家的一呼一吸，为读者展示出一个既不冷峻也不完美，既不血性也不懦弱，但仍然能让读者为之动容的曾经在欧洲叱咤风云而又突然消失的普鲁士。 (展开)
