Germany in the Twentieth Century (Rle: German Politics)

The book offers a comprehensive examination of Germany's evolution from the 1870s under the Kaiser to the reunification in the 1990s. It challenges the notion of a uniformly reactionary Germany prior to 1914 and analyzes its involvement in World War I, the Weimar Republic's challenges, and the complexities of Hitler's regime. The narrative continues with Germany's post-war defeat and recovery during Four Power occupation, culminating in an exploration of the distinct paths of East and West Germany and the eventual reunification process.
