The Kaiser's Voters is a study of the thirteen general elections held in Germany between 1871 and the outbreak of the First World War. Using advanced mathematical methods, but presenting the results in simple, nontechnical language, the author develops a new interpretation of the electoral politics of the German Empire, demonstrates their implications for the post-1914 era (including the rise of the Nazis) and compares voting trends in Germany with those in other countries of Europe and North America.

The narrative explores a gripping story filled with unexpected twists and deep character development. Set against a backdrop of conflict and intrigue, it delves into themes of resilience and the human spirit. The protagonist faces numerous challenges that test their moral compass and strength, leading to personal growth and revelations. Richly detailed and emotionally charged, the book invites readers to reflect on their own values and choices while navigating a complex world.

A monumental and accessible global history of the second half of the twentieth century, from the end of World War Two to the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers, offering readers the most complete portrait of the age available.
