Modernizing Bavaria by Mark Milosch

Modernizing Bavaria by Mark Milosch

In 1949 Bavaria was not only the largest and best known, but also the poorest, most agricultural, and most industrially backward region of Germany. It was further its most politically conservative region. The largest political party in Bavaria was the Christian Social Union (CSU), an extremely conservative, even reactionary, regional party.

“Milosch has written a well-researched monograph that places a crucial period of recent history into its proper political and economic contextThis work should be required reading for anyone interested in late twentieth-century German and European history.”  ·  German Studies Review

“…provides a very helpful interpretation of the Christian Social Union’s role in general, and Franz Josef Strauß’s role in particular, in Bavaria’s political and economic modernization up to 1969…Underlying Milosch’s narrative account of Bavaria’s technical, scientific, and economic modernization…lay an important contribution to our theoretical understanding of the modernization process itself.”  ·  Central European History

Mark Milosch currently works as a Special Advisor to the U.S. Congress.
