About this listen
He was born into royalty, obsessed with power, and convinced the world needed one more emperor. Wilhelm II, the final Kaiser of Germany, was a man shaped by insecurity and ambition—a ruler who fired the Iron Chancellor, chased naval glory, and marched his empire straight into disaster.
From childhood trauma to global war, The Last Kaiser traces the life of Europe’s most volatile monarch—and the empire that crumbled with him. It’s the story of how one man’s pride, paranoia, and theatrical leadership helped ignite World War I, destroy the old European order, and leave behind a vacuum that would welcome something even darker.
Sharp, fast, and historically grounded, this book is not just a biography—it’s an autopsy of imperial collapse.
