SUMMARY
A brilliant surveyfrom RomanGermaniato Bonn's recent reconciliation with Moscowthis up-to-date and authoritative new work provides a much-needed guide to modern German history. The German quest for national unity and power, which led to the establishment of the Hohenzollern Empire under Bismarck in the nineteenth century and the catastrophe of the Third Reich under Hitler in the twentieth, is placed in the context of German history since antiquity in this concise interpretive survey. Addressed to the general reader interested in European history and international relations, it will also be useful to students, journalists, librarians, and anyone needing a lucid introduction to the background of postwar Germany and its role in the contemporary world. This concise account of the impact of complex factors in the Middle Ages and early modern period on the course of more recent German history is complemented with a dozen original maps, a brief chronology, and a selected bibliography.Detwiler, Donald S. is the author of 'Germany: A Short History' with ISBN 9780809307685 and ISBN 0809307685.
