		Wilhelm II was the "Kaiser Bill," hated by the German side of my parentage and ancestry as well as by all "Hun-haters" and all higher-minded peace-lovers for the evil he wrought by co-producing World War I. James J. Sheehan, in his Times Literary Supplement review (May 30) of the book, writes that
		Instead, the most dreaded seatmate is, as Sheehan describes Wilhelm II, "vain, garrulous and self-absorbed." Whoever has taken along a big book to read, only to be interrupted constantly by an unshushable monologist, knows what Sheehan means.

		Wilhelm II (1859-1941), King of Prussia and German Emperor from 1888 to 1918, reigned during a period of unprecedented economic, cultural, and intellectual achievement in Germany.
		As Cecil shows, Wilhelm's private life reflects a deeply troubled and very superficial man. But the book's larger focus is on Wilhelm as a head of state.
		He was dethroned on November 9, 1918, when a socialist republic was established in Berlin, and he fled in exile to Holland, where he resided for the remaining twenty-three years of his life, working energetically, but to no avail, for his restoration to the throne.
