| Abstract |
""Kitchen sets out to tell a story, and he tells it well. His sentences are elegant and his narrative is enriched with striking facts and characterisation about the statesmen he portrays. This is a complex and subtly written book." Times Higher Education Supplement "The best general textbook now available on modern Germany, Martin Kitchen's study is exceptionally rich in its coverage of all aspects of German history from the late 18th to the very end of the 20th century. It is also very accessible. Without losing sight of the big questions of the country's tumultuous and complex history, the author, with the help of frequent sub-headings, facilitates easy orientation for the reader looking for information on and analysis of specific issues." V.R. Berghahn, Columbia University"-- Provided by publisher. |
