"A major contribution to our understanding of some of the great themes of modern European history-the relations between Jews and Germans, between economics and politics, between banking and diplomacy." -James Joll, The New York Times Book Review
"I cannot praise this book too highly. It is a work of original scholarship, both exact and profound. It restores a buried chapter of history and penetrates, with insight and understanding, one of the most disturbing historical problems of modern times." -Hugh J. Trevor-Roper, London Sunday Times
"[An] extraordinary book, an invaluable contribution to our understanding of Germany in the second half of the nineteenth century." -Stanley Hoffman, Washington Post Book World
"One of the most important historical works of the past few decades." -Golo Mann
"In many ways this book resembles the great nineteenth-century novels." -The Economist
