The Peculiarities of German History by David Blackbourn
A well-written, stimulating...piece of scholarship. --German Studies Review. In a major re-evaluation of the cultural, political, and sociological assumptions about the "peculiar" course of modern German history, the authors challenge the widely held belief that Germany did not have a Western-style bourgeois revolution. Contending that it did indeed experience one, but that this had little to do with the mythical rising of the middle class, the authors provide a new context for viewing the tensions and instability of 19th-and early 20th-century Germany.
`It is a lucid tour de force illuminating innumerable aspects of European as well as of German history in a conflictive periodThere can be no doubt that it will soon acquire classic status.' British Book News.
