The Cambridge Illustrated History of Germany by Martin Kitchen

The Cambridge Illustrated History of Germany by Martin Kitchen

The Cambridge Illustrated History of Germany presents a richly illustrated, integrated, chronological account of German history from Charlemagne to the modern era. Written in a lively, accessible manner for a general audience by a leading academic expert, this book is unique in its authority, approach and scope. Martin Kitchen focuses particularly on the German people - their culture and society. In this way he illuminates and puts into perspective the country's political history, from its origins as a collection of small, German-speaking states to its present-day status as a major European and world power. In special illustrated boxes and panels throughout the book, he reveals the great cultural and intellectual contribution Germans have made to the world through the works of figures such as Martin Luther, Bach, Kant, Wagner, and Gropius.

'A splendidly written narrative, this glossy volume can attract the attention of new students and veteran scholars of the wild ups and downs of German historyWith such breadth combined with depth in the crucial periods, Kitchen offers libraries an excellent resource.' Booklist
