Product Description

'It is difficult to convey the sheer verve, wit and brilliance which James brings to the exposition of this argument... the most sheerly enjoyable book on German history since Gordon Craig's The Germans' Times Literary Supplement Following the collapse of communism in the East, Europe again faces the threat of a unified, powerful, nationalistic Germany. In his brilliant and provocative study of the German search for self-understanding, Harold James looks at Germany within the international order, offering an entirely new explanation for the instability and volatility of the Germans' perceptions of them selves, and the role of their nation.
