About this title

Book Description:

A comprehensive updated and expanded overview and interpretation of the development of Germany in the twentieth century, a country whose history has decisively shaped the map and the politics of modern Europe and the world in which we live.

Review:

"...it is refreshing to read a work that continues the strands of Germany's development up to the present, concluding even with some observations on the political forces led by such leaders as Franz Josef Strauss...Throughout his text, the author carefully uses the most reliable research available to diagnose a Germany that is more than a mere political entity." History of European Ideas

"...well-informed and readable survey of twentieth century Germany...Using a historical structural analysis, Berghahn offers a reasonably well balanced treatment of economic performance, society, domestic and foreign policy." German Studies Review
