This riveting, New York Times bestselling biography illuminates the life of Otto von Bismarck, the statesman who unified Germany but who also embodied everything brutal and ruthless about Prussian culture. Jonathan Steinberg draws heavily on contemporary writings, allowing Bismarck's friends and foes to tell the story. What rises from these pages is a complex giant of a man: a hypochondriac with the constitution of an ox, a brutal tyrant who could easily shed tears, a convert to an extreme form of evangelical Protestantism who secularized schools and introduced civil divorce. Bismarck may have been in sheer ability the most intelligent man to direct a great state in modern times. His brilliance and insight dazzled his contemporaries. But all agreed there was also something demonic, diabolical, and overwhelming in Bismarck's personality. He was a kind of malign genius who, behind the various postures, concealed an ice-cold contempt for his fellow human beings and a drive to control and rule them. As one contemporary noted: "the Bismarck regime was a constant orgy of scorn and abuse of mankind, collectively and individually." A brilliant study in power, this comprehensive biography brings Bismarck to life, revealing the stark contrast between the "Iron Chancellor's" unmatched political skills and his profoundly flawed human character.Binding Type: Paperback

CLEAN Supplement w/Positive Benefits
Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1)
Very PURE supplement. No extremely nasty fillers or chemical compounds which is hard to find today on the market. I feel as though it's helping slightly with my energy levels, with Mag. Malate being the key. I take one every morning on an empty stomach with a probiotic and 24oz of water. Then a Mag. Glycinate at night to encourage sleep. The combination of these two Magnesium's have encouraged more regular bathroom visits for me when consistently taken (do not exceed 400mg-500mg or severe laxative effects can take place). It is a larger pill but I have not had issues with swallowing- as I can have with others. Yes, a bit more costly than similar types but this brand focuses on main ingredients. Will buy again! Impressed with the company's quality and transparency.

Finally Found a Magnesium That Works Without Side Effects
Size: 180 Count (Pack of 1)
I started taking this magnesium because I was dealing with frequent leg cramps, especially at night, and it has made a huge difference for me. Since using this brand consistently, my cramps have almost completely disappeared and my muscles feel much more relaxed. Another thing I really appreciate is that it does not upset my stomach or cause diarrhea like other magnesium supplements I tried before. After testing several brands, this is the only one that has worked well for me without uncomfortable side effects.
