The Inverted Mirror by Michael Nolan

It is hard to imagine nowadays that, for many years, France and Germany considered each other as arch enemies. And yet, for well over a century, these two countries waged verbal and ultimately violent wars against each other.

“…a balanced and perceptive analysis…a superb monograph”  ·  The Historian

“…an interesting political application of the psychological tendency to overlook our own weaknesses even as we attribute them to someone else…This work has obvious value as an introductory text for student historians of France and Germany; its study of cultural identities and national myths also makes it pertinent to young scholars interested in the workings of international affairs. Instructors of modern European history courses, or French or German civilization courses will find this volume to be valuable background reading.”  ·  French Review

"Michael Nolan's broad and deep learning, sharp thinking, and elegant style combine to make fresh and exciting reading out of what might have been thought to be a familiar tale of bygone mutual hostility between two peoples and cultures. He bears his erudition lightly, yet it blows through every portion of this fine work."  · Rudolph Binion, Brandeis University

"This study shines by its elegance, erudition, and thoughtfulness ... It is a joy to read."  · Paul Jankowski, Brandeis University

“The comprehensive study…is convincing not least because of its substantial sources.”  · Historische Zeitschrift

Michael Nolan received his Masters degree from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and his doctorate from Brandeis University. He currently teaches at Western Connecticut State University in Danbury.
