Diese Chance hätte er nutzen können, einen mächtigen europäischen Staat zu schaffen, ein Bollwerk gegen Russland und gegen die preußische Expansion. Doch politisch und militärisch ließ August keine Gelegenheit aus zu scheitern. Zugleich frönte er als skrupelloser Verschwender und Lüstling den Freuden des Lebens und förderte ebenso exzessiv die Kunst.

Gestützt auf neue Archivfunde, erzählt Dietmar Pieper, wie stark Churchills Werdegang über Jahrzehnte von seinem Verhältnis zu Deutschland geprägt war – schon sein Aufstieg zum Marineminister vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg war eine Reaktion auf die Kanonenbootpolitik des Kaiserreichs unter Wilhelm II.
