Description
Excerpt from Bismarck: And the Foundation of the German Empire
During this period, two works have appeared to which some reference is necessary. The value of Busch''s Memoirs has been much exaggerated; ex cept for quite the last years of Bismarck''s life they contain little new information which is of any im portance. Not only had a large portion of the book already been published in Busch''s two earlier books, but many of the anecdotes and documents in those parts which were new had also been published elsewhere.
Bismarck''s own Memoirs have a very different value: not so much because of the new facts which they record, but because of the light they throw on Bismarck''s character and on the attitude he adopted towards men and political problems. With his letters and speeches, they will always remain the chief source for our knowledge of his inner life.
