In this definitive biography, noted historian Holger H. Herwig explores the life and times of Karl Haushofer, widely recognized as the "father of geopolitics" and the architect of Lebensraum, the rationale for Germany's control of Europe and the world.

"The great seminal catastrophe of the twentieth century', as American statesman George F Kennan described the war, has had no shortage of accounts seen chiefly from Allied perspectives. In using Vienna and Berlin as his vantage points, Herwig has comprehensively shown for the first time the other side of that prodigiously wasteful conflict.
