Review

"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

"[This book] will prove useful for both beginning and advanced students." Choice

“Eminently readable … Succinct [and] frequently witty.” The International History Review

"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

"Written with clarity and succinctness, this book will both challenge and inspire students of history attempting to understand the labyrinthine and dramatic course of modern German history." Dr Christian Leitz, Corporate Historian, UBS AG

Book Description

This book fills an important gap by providing a broad survey of modern German history from 1800-2000, thus setting Germany's fragmented history within its full context. Organised chronologically, the book deals with all the major watersheds in German history, including the unification, the rise and fall of the German Empire, the emergence of the Weimar Republic, and its submergence by the Third Reich, the collapse of the Third Reich with the Second World War, the birth of the Federal Republic, the collapse of Communism and re-unification. Written from the perspective of post-reunification Germany, the book allows readers to take a long view of German history and so to trace continuities as well as changes. Kitchen addresses cultural matters such as class, religion and gender, as well as political and economic history. He also pays attention to regional history, rather than focusing on the dominant role of Prussia. This book covers not only the experience of one of the major nations of the modern world but also its defining role in the wider history of Europe and the world.
