Prussia is interesting. Scary, but interesting, and I'll admit that Prussia/Germany and Bismarck/Wilhelm II is at the center of my interest in Europe, 1848-1914. Wilhelm in particular I find a fascinating character, because once you peel away the bluster and the dress uniforms, he becomes remarkably enigmatic. I am 75% persuaded of AJP Taylor's judgement that, once you factor the playacting away, Wilhelm was smarter than any of his ministers and much more pacific.
