Thought provoking and persuasive.
A very useful summary of over 2,000 years of “German” history. The distillation of which yields a persuasive thesis explaining that history - some of which previously seemed inexplicable to me, Wilhelm’s naval build-up for example.The one area I might fault is the explanation / description of the rise of virulent anti-semitism in Protestant “Elbia” - the author’s term for Germany east of the Elbe - before The Great War. It seemed like it did not adequately explain that very curious phenomenon.Still, very, very highly recommended.

Great read after my trip to Germany
Recently attended a German wedding in Hamburg and wanted to learn more about this country. I saw this book at the Hamburg airport. The author goes into the right depth to make this a very readable and informative book. Great maps and pics too. At the end, I was sorry it stopped in 2017 as I wanted it to continue to present day.
