<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>From the bestselling author of <i>The Sleepwalkers</i>, a book about how the exercise of power is shaped by different concepts of time</b> <p/>This groundbreaking book presents new perspectives on how the exercise of power is shaped by different notions of time. Acclaimed historian Christopher Clark draws on four key figures from German history--Friedrich Wilhelm of Brandenburg-Prussia, Frederick the Great, Otto von Bismarck, and Adolf Hitler--to look at history through a temporal lens and ask how historical actors and their regimes embody unique conceptions of time. Elegantly written and boldly innovative, <i>Time and Power </i>reveals the connection between political power and the distinct temporalities of the leaders who wield it.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>One of the Financial Times' Summer Books of 2019: History<br><br>One of Times Higher Education's Best Books of 2018<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Christopher Clark</b> is the Regius Professor of History at the University of Cambridge.
