Review

Praise for A History of Modern Germany:

“ The book’s greatest strengths are its clarity and its good mixture of politics, culture, and economics.”

“I think the writing style of A History of Modern Germany is one of the greatest strengths of this text.  It is accessible and, above all, interesting–while remaining intelligent and thorough.”
