History of Germany 1780-1918 by David Blackbourn
In the late 18th century German-speaking Europe was a patchwork of undeveloped principalities. Yet by the early 20th century, unified Germany had become the most powerful state in Europe. This book tells the story of this transformation weaving together political, social and cultural history.
‘David Blackbourn is one of the brightest of a younger generation of Anglo-American scholars whose work has transformed the historiography of modern Germany over the past two decades' Times Higher Education Supplement
‘Here is contemporary historical scholarship at its best. Witty, modest about historical generalizations, but ever willing to introduce revisionism, Blackbourn demonstrates how to write thought-provoking and persuasive prose.' German Studies Review
‘It is elegant, thought-provoking, informative and entertaining, summarizing a formidable body of literature and offering new interpretations of it. Everyone, from undergraduates to experts in the field, and beyond the walls of academia to the educated general reader . . . can read [this book] with profit and pleasure.' Central European History
