The first English edition of the acclaimed biography of German
industrialist Carl von Siemens
"Nature seems to have created me to undertake great things, for to this
day, wherever I have gone, great things have always come about."
Werner, Wilhelm, and Carl von Siemens. Three brothers who, in the middle
of the 19th century, succeeded in building a global business empire out
of a small telegraph company in Berlin. Martin Lutz has written the
first ever biography of the youngest of the three, simultaneously
providing a vivid history of the Siemens brand itself, a name which owes
its reputation today to these early pioneers of globalization.
