The Times decided in 1891 that 'Germany does not excite in any
class among us the slightest feeling of distrust or antipathy' -
the zenith of a century in which Britons admired German culture and
our monarchy was closely involved with Germany royalty. Yet
twenty-five years later began the era of world wars in which
Britain and Germany were twice pitted against each other. After
1945, it seemed that Britain would learn to co-exist on happier
terms with newly democratic Germany, yet persistent memories of
1940 have slowed that process, hesitations reinforced by the
showing of war films on television, chants on the terraces, and
populist tabloid gibes. John Ramsden's groundbreaking book looks at
every aspect of Anglo-German relations for the last 100 years: from
the wars themselves to how they have been seen by the tabloids as
re-enacted in subsequent football matches. And he askes 'What is
the British problem with Germany?' As Foreign Secretary Ernest
Bevin once said 'I tries 'ard, but I 'ates 'em'.
