The Kaiser's Voters is a study of the thirteen general elections held in Germany between 1871 and the outbreak of the First World War. Using advanced mathematical methods, but presenting the results in simple, nontechnical language, the author develops a new interpretation of the electoral politics of the German Empire, demonstrates their implications for the post-1914 era (including the rise of the Nazis) and compares voting trends in Germany with those in other countries of Europe and North America.
