Synopsis

This engaging textbook provides a broad survey of modern German history from 1800-2000, and situates Germany's fragmented past within its full context. Kitchen provides readers a long view of German history, allowing them to see continuities and changes. This book covers the unification of Germany, the German Empire, the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich, the Federal Republic, the collapse of Communism, and the re-unification; examines cultural history as well as political and economic history; and, includes coverage of regional history rather than focusing on the dominant role of Prussia.

Media Reviews
Kitchen sets out to tell a story, and he tells it well. His sentences are elegant and his narrative is enriched with striking facts and characterisation about the statesmen he portrays. This is a complex and subtly written book. Times Higher Education Supplement [This book] will prove useful for both beginning and advanced students. Choice Eminently readable ... Succinct [and] frequently witty. The International History Review The best general textbook now available on modern Germany, Martin Kitchen's study is exceptionally rich in its coverage of all aspects of German history from the late 18th to the very end of the 20th century. It is also very accessible. Without losing sight of the big questions of the country's tumultuous and complex history, the author, with the help of frequent sub-headings, facilitates easy orientation for the reader looking for information on and analysis of specific issues. V.R. Berghahn, Columbia University Written with clarity and succinctness, this book will both challenge and inspire students of history attempting to understand the labyrinthine and dramatic course of modern German history.
