ISBN10: 0316529400, ISBN13: 9780316529402, [publisher: Back Bay Books, New York] Softcover Paperback. For the first time in Trade Paperback the massive, compelling book in which William Manchester brings to life Europe's richest, most powerful family, a 400-year dynasty that armed Germany in three major wars. Their cannon won the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. In 1871 they invented the first anti-aircraft gun to shoot down observation balloons. In WWI their mammoth weapons shelled Paris at a range of 81 miles. For 40 years they manufactured submarines, beginning with the U-1 that menaced Allied shipping. In 1940 their cannon actually shelled England from across the channel. The Krupps armed the forces of the Kaiser and financed Hitler's 'Terror Election' of 1933. Hitler honoured their loyalty by decreeing special tax exemptions that continued to bind a post-war West Germany. The Krupps even survived a Nuremberg conviction to become the dynamo behind the 'Common Market'. In this massive, compellingly readable book, America's preeminent biographer/historian brings to life Europe's most powerful family, a 400-year dynasty that developed the world's most technologically advanced weapons. Manchester's account of the rise and fall of the Krupp dynasty is history as it should be written—alive with all its terrifying power. 69 photos.
