Gordon A. Craig Book order

In this collection of 30 superb essays, Gordon A. Craig, distinguished historian of Germany, examines German politics and culture from the 18th century to the present. Topics range from the political history of Germany from 1770 to 1866, Bismarck, Emperor William II, Germany and the First World War, Thomas Mann, and the architects Karl Friedrich Schinkel and Gottfried Semper. He considers the Third Reich -- its political history, major figures, foreign policy and the coming of the war, and varieties of resistance to Nazism before and during the war. He also considers Jews in Germany in the 19th century, the Rothschilds, and the years of persecution as described by Victor Klemperer. He documents the remarkable rebirth of German democracy after 1945, including the cultural history and political significance of Berlin, and Germans' continuing struggle with the past.

Recognized by historians and politicians as a model for European unity, Switzerland is nonetheless a difficult country to understand as a whole. Whereas individual Swiss cities have strong identities in the international political, cultural, and economic arenas, the country itself seems to be less than the sum of its parts. To capture the elusive spirit of Switzerland, four eminent writers explore the roots of its political unity and cultural diversity in a series of urban portraits. Their observations make for both good storytelling and insightful social commentary

Suitable for upper division courses in Diplomatic History, Diplomacy and Statecraft, or history of foreign relations.

Das Ende Preußens - so der amerikanische Historiker Gordon A. Craig - war ein langsamer und schmerzlicher Prozeß, der mit der Niederlage der preußischen Armee 1806 bei Jena einsetzte. Gordon A. Craig macht uns in seinem erfolgreichen Buch, das in neuer Ausstattung in der Beck’schen Reihe vorgelegt wird, mit acht faszinierenden Einzelpersönlichkeiten bekannt, durch deren Augen er diesen Prozeß auf höchst originelle und brillante Weise beschreibt.
