a richly textured intellectual biography . . . -History . . . well worth reading and pondering by all who are concerned with the fate of humankind in capitalist civilization. -Socialism and Democracy . . . an extraordinary book. Although intellectually challenging, it is well worth the effort to read. -New York City Tribune . . . insightful and richly documented . . . -Review of Politics The novelty and value of this book lie in Bergmann's painstaking examination of Nietzsche's reactions to and interaction with the political events and currents of his time. -American Historical Review . . . superb . . . -The Historian . . . historian Bergmann has given the basic Nietzsche library a major addition . . . it is a reading of Nietzsche's early life, educational influences and later career by a scholar intent on recording the interaction of the philosopher with the political events of his own time. -Monatshefte Among both admirers and detractors, perhaps no issue has remained as hotly contested as Nietzsche's actual relationship to politics. Peter Bergmann's fine intellectual biography provides the first down-to-earth appraisal of Nietzsche's place among the individuals, events, and concerns of the Bismarckian age
