Summary "William of Germany" by Stanley Shaw is a historical biography written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on Kaiser William II, exploring his life, reign, and the unique political context of Germany during his time. The narrative begins with an introduction to William's early years, highlighting the monarch's upbringing and the enormous responsibilities he would eventually inherit. The opening of the biography sets the stage for understanding the complexities of William II's character and the political landscape of late 19th-century Germany. Shaw discusses the significant themes of monarchy, governance, and the relationship between the ruler and the people, with an emphasis on the stark contrasts between German and English political systems. The text outlines the historical backdrop of William's early life, touching on events that shaped his formative years and providing insight into the influences of his family and society on his eventual role as Emperor.
