The German century

About this book

A great book about the most interesting country in the twentieth century a century that couldve indeed been the German century had different decisions been made by certain individuals. The pictures are great but the narrative is even better. Good non-academic books about German history that are not just about the National Socialists or the DDR are hard to come by; this book is great because it gives a well-written summary of the whole course of modern German history: the angsty doomed German Empire the chaotic decadent Weimar Republic the National Socialist Third Reich the divided Cold War Germany and the story of the miraculous reunification. A must buy for any fans of German history.
