Questions of international politics, as they relate to German
history, are explored in this authoritative and controversial
volume. Of the seven essays that constitute the book, four-those by
Schroeder, Lauren, Rupieper, and Abenheim-center on diplomatic
history and international politics, while the other three-by
Barclay, Chickering, and Post-illuminate related political and
cultural transformations. The Afterword by the two editors, Wetzel
and Hamerow, deals with the works and philosophy of Gordon Craig,
the preeminent historian of Germany to whom the book is dedicated.
Craig's achievement has been to bring knowledge and interpretation
into narrative history and to show that history is a
self-sufficient and self-contained discipline, important for its
own sake. These essays are bold and provocative; they can rightly
claim originality, new insights, hitherto unrecognized aspects, new
techniques of analysis for the subjects they cover; and for these
reasons, as much as for any other, they deserve the attention of
all those who care about German or international history.
