Summary

Hagen Schulze: Germany: A new history

In one concise volume, Hagen Schulze brilliantly conveys the full sweep of German history, from the days of the Romans to the fall of the Berlin Wall. A story that has been in the making for two thousand years, it rings with battle, murmurs with intrigue and hums with the music of everyday life. This rich and diverse heritage, often overshadowed and distorted by the nation's recent past, offers a hopeful answer to the eternal question of what Germany is and what the country will be. From the revolt of the native tribes against Roman domination, Schulze takes us through the events that defined the nation at the center of European culture - the Thirty Years' War and the fall of the Holy Roman Empire, Luther's reformation and Bismarck's presence at the birth of modern Germany, the Great War and its aftermath, the nationalist megalomania under Hitler, the division of the nation after World War II and its reunification. Throughout time, we see what these events meant for the German people, in the arena of private life and on the stage of world history. A sumptuous array of illustrations provide a lively counterpoint to Schulze's elegantly written story. As it follows the threads of German language, nationalism and culture to the present day, this dramatic account provides ample reassurance that recent history will not repeat itself. Germany: A New History will prove essential to our understanding of Germany, past and present, and the future of Europe.
