Vivid, succinct, and highly accessible, Heinrich Winkler's
magisterial history of modern Germany offers the history of a
nation and its people through two turbulent centuries. It is the
story of a country that, while always culturally identified with
the West, long resisted the political trajectories of its
neighbors.
This first volume (of two) begins with the origins and
consequences of the medieval myth of the "Reich," which was to
experience a fateful renaissance in the twentieth century, and ends
with the collapse of the first German democracy. Winkler offers a
brilliant synthesis of complex events and illuminates them with
fresh insights. He analyses the decisions that shaped the country's
triumphs and catastrophes, interweaving high politics with telling
vignettes about the German people and their own
self-perception.
With a second volume that takes the story up to reunification in
1990, Germany: The Long Road West will be welcomed by scholars,
students, and anyone wishing to understand this most complex and
contradictory of countries.
