The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a particular period in German history.The first part of the book covers the period from 1871 to 1914, which saw the creation of the German Empire under Bismarck's leadership.

This book contains the 1958 Albert Shaw Lectures on Diplomatic History delivered at The Johns Hopkins University by the Scottish-American historian Gordon Alexander Craig (1913-2005). Anyone interested in German history should find the book fascinating, as Craig 's knowledge of all things German was, in my view, second to none, and his favourite city was Berlin.
The titles of the five chhapters are eye-catching and their content riveting. He gives us:; Bismarck: Diplomacy as a Vocation - The Epigoni: Holstein, Bülow, Kiderlen-Waechter - Three Three Republican Statesmaen: Rathenau, Stresemann, Brüning - The Ambassador and his Problems from Bismarck to Hitler - The Statecraft of Konrad Adenauer.
Craig's prose is ,eminently appealing and this book is an excellent example of his work. If one is interested in the evolution of diplomacy in international relations, this book is a delightful read. It also has an extremely useful index.
