A History of Modern Germany Since 1815 by Emeritus Frank B Tipton
Germany has fascinated its own people as well as onlookers in the twentieth century because, unlike the history or national existence of other European states, its very being has been posed as a question. Why was there no unified German state until late in the nineteenth century? How did Germany become an industrial power? What responsibility does Germany bear for the two world wars? This study attempts to answer these and other fundamental questions through looking at the economic, social, political and cultural forces which have created modern Germany.
'It is therefore refreshing to read a work that offers a sweeping panorama covering almost 200 years, from 1815 to reunification and beyond..Written as a polemic attack on the percieved failings of the Weimar Republic , it is fascinating...given the enormity of the task the author has set himself, he has succeeded in condensing 200 years of history into a little over 700 pages. Therefore I would unhesitatingly recommend this book to newcomers and scholars of German history alike.' -- Matthew Ashton
