During his political career, Helmut Kohl used his own life story to
promote a normalization of German nationalism and to overcome the
stigma of the Nazi period. In the context of the cold war and the
memory of the fascist past, he was able to exploit the combination
of his religious, generational, regional, and educational (he has a
PhD in History) experiences by connecting nationalist ideas to
particular biographical narratives. Kohl presented himself as the
embodiment of "normality": a de-radicalized German nationalism
which was intended to eclipse any anti-Western and post-national
peculiarities. This book takes a biographical approach to the study
of nationalism by examining its manifestation in Helmut Kohl and
the way he historicized Germany's past.
