A History of Germany 1815-1990 by William Carr
The formidable economic power and political influence the new Germany is likely to exert in Europe make more desirable than ever an understanding of its past. The latest edition of Carr's classic text and been thoroughly revised and includes a chapter on the revolution of 1989-90.
'This book remains the best single-volume history of modern Germany' Teaching History 'That the book has now entered its fourth edition is a great compliment to a historian whose work has not lost its relevance. It takes special skills to write a general history and Carr managed to avoid the dangers of such a project. He continuously focuses on the essential points and always aims at a balanced interpretation. These qualities make it an excellent textbook not only for undergraduate.' South African Historical Journal
