The Arms of Krupp 1587-1968: The Rise and Fall of the Industrial Dynasty That Armed Germany at War Paperback - 2003

by William Manchester

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.


From the publisher

The Krupp family were the premier German arms manufacturers from the middle of the 19th century until the end of World War II, producing artillery pieces and submarines that set the standard for effectiveness. This book relates the history of this influential company.

First line

IN 1914 Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated at Sarajevo, and little of the Europe he had known survived him.
