Highly praised when published in Germany, "The Quest for the Lost
Nation" is a brilliant chronicle of Germany's and Japan's struggles
to reclaim a defeated national past. Sebastian Conrad compares the
ways German and Japanese scholars revised national history after
World War-II in the shadows of fascism, surrender, and American
occupation. Defeat in 1945 marked the death of the national past in
both countries, yet, as Conrad proves, historians did not abandon
national perspectives during reconstruction. Quite the opposite -
the nation remained hidden at the center of texts as scholars tried
to make sense of the past and searched for fragments of the nation
they had lost. By situating both countries in the Cold War, Conrad
shows that the focus on the nation can be understood only within a
transnational context.
