Reviews

Fulbrook's History of Germany is an excellent overview, clearly presented, and well written. Of particular strength is its coverage of East Germany, which is comprehensive and balanced. It effectively complements primary source readings, lectures, and more specialized articles. David G. Tompkins, Carleton College Mary Fulbrook's History of Germany should be an essential companion for any student of German history. It combines breadth, depth and insight.
