This well-worn copy of William Manchester’s “The Arms of Krupp” offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of one of the most influential industrial dynasties in Europe. Published in 1968, this seminal work traces the Krupp family’s rise from modest beginnings in the 16th century to become the preeminent manufacturer of steel, artillery, and armaments for the German military. Manchester’s meticulous research and engaging narrative bring to life the personalities and ambitions that drove the Krupp empire, shedding light on the complex interplay between industrial might and military power that shaped modern warfare. Despite its age and signs of wear, this copy remains a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and collectors interested in the social, economic, and political forces that underpinned the Krupp legacy and its lasting impact on the world stage.
