Prisoners of Time

About the book

Prisoners of Time by Christopher Clark is a history book for adult readers.

A collection of illuminating essays from the acclaimed author of The Sleepwalkers Christopher Clark's. The Sleepwalkers has become one of the most influential history books of our century: a remarkable rethinking of the origins of the First World War, which has had a huge impact on how we see both the past and the present. For the many readers who found the narrative voice, craftsmanship and originality of Clark's writing so compelling, Prisoners of Time will be a book filled with surprises and enjoyment.

Bringing together many of Clark's major essays, Prisoners of Time raises a host of questions about how we think about the past, and both the value and pitfalls of history as a discipline. The book includes brilliant writing on German subjects: from assessments of Kaiser Wilhelm and Bismarck to the painful story of General von Blaskowitz, a military man who accommodated himself to the horrors of the Third Reich.
