Summary "The Life of Bismarck, Private and Political" by George Hesekiel is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This comprehensive biography explores the life and legacy of Otto von Bismarck, the influential statesman who played a crucial role in the unification of Germany. The focus of the work likely encompasses Bismarck's personal experiences as well as his political maneuverings, providing insights into his character and the historical context of his time. The opening of the book delves into the origins of the Bismarck family, tracing their lineage back to the town of Bismarck on the Biese and detailing their rise to nobility through various historical episodes, particularly during the fourteenth century. It addresses misconceptions about their ancestry, refuting claims of peasant descent and emphasizing their established status in the Alt Mark. Each chapter lays the groundwork for understanding Bismarck's lineage, leading to a rich narrative of how his early ancestry influenced his character and eventually shaped his political career.
