Thoughts and Memories is the memoir Bismarck wrote with all his effort after his resignation in 1890.

His tumultuous and grand life, his political thought and diplomatic strategies, and the complex and ever-changing history of 19th-century Germany and Europe are all vividly presented in this work. This is not only a biography of a "hero of the great era" but also a "precious legacy of the German nation." Bismarck dedicated this book to his descendants to understand the past and teach the future.
