Bringing together many of Clark's major essays, \u003ci\u003ePrisoners of Time \u003c\/i\u003eraises a host of questions about how we think about the past, and both the value and pitfalls of history as a discipline.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The book includes brilliant writing on German subjects: from assessments of Kaiser Wilhelm and Bismarck to the painful story of General von Blaskowitz, a traditional Prussian military man who accommodated himself to the horrors of the Third Reich. There is a fascinating essay on attempts to convert Prussian Jews to Christianity, and insights into everything from Brexit to the significance of battles. Perhaps the most important piece in the book is 'The Dream of Nebuchadnezzar', a virtuoso meditation on the nature of political power down the ages, which will become essential reading for anyone drawn to the meaning of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChristopher Clark\u003c\/b\u003e is the Regius Professor of History at the University of Cambridge.
