Bruphy, University of Delaware "All-encompassing for the period."--David R. Stevenson, University of Nebraska, Kearney "The best book of its kind, period."--Richard R. Laurence, Michigan State University "Excellent book, enjoyable to read, stimulating to students."--Andrew R. Carlson, Western Michigan University "Absolutely superb....By far the best book on modern Germany in any language and an excellent starting-point for further reading....Ideal for more advanced students."--Herman Beck, University of Miami "A work of great erudition, packed with detail and of wide range, dealing with all aspects of government and social life....Readers will welcome such judicious and well-informed guidance through the storm center of recent world politics. Professor Craig is deeply versed in German literature as well as history, and he writes clearly and well. It is salutary for historians to realize that they too are at the mercy of events, even when--like Professor Craig--they command them."--H.R. Trevor-Roper, The New York Times Book Review "The best-informed and most reliable guide through the labyrinth of recent German history--and it is superbly readable."--Felix Gilbert, The New York Review of Books. "Excellent in all respects."--T.E. Smuck, University of Hawaii, Hilo "...masterly, profound, and indispensable synthesis...Olympian and engage, attentive to all aspects of Germany's history, always perceptive and incisive."--Foreign Affairs, "Significant Books of the Last 75 Years"

Gordon A.Craig was a historian of German and diplomatic history who was Scottish-American. Before serving in the US Marine Corps during World War II, he studied history at Princeton and was a Rhodes Scholar at Balliol College, Oxford. He coedited the 1941 book Creators of Modern Strategy: Military Thinking from Machiavelli to Hitler, which served as a strategic thinking guide for military leaders during World War Two. The Germans, The Politics of the Prussian Army 1640-1945, Europe Since 1914, The End of Prussia, Force and Statecraft: Diplomatic Issues of Our Time, and Politics and Culture in Modern Germany are only a few of Craig's other works. Craig was unique in that he saw history as a human discipline rather than a social science, and he sought to integrate the study of history with the study of literature. In 2005, Gordon A.Craig passed away.
