In covering the whole period between 1871 and 1945 and focusing on an enlightened political history it will be very useful to undergraduates as well as general readers. Moritz Follmer, University of Leeds This is an interesting and generally balanced account of a crucial period in German history. The book is characterized by smooth-flowing, quite accessible narrative. Unusual in a work of this sort, the author on occasion effectively weaves his own experiences and his family history into the narrative.
