A History of Modern Germany, 1800-2000 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this book for a college class on German History. I went into reading this book with high hopes for a better understanding of Germany's role in World War I and my faith was rewarded greatly. I couldn't believe the amount of interesting information there was on this amazing nation and give great regards to the author Martin Kitchen for turning my brain in this direction. I currently have much interest in the German Monarchy of 1871-1918 and may want to study it in graduate school. I thank this book for everything it has taught me and hope many other readers develop the same understanding.

This engaging textbook provides a broad survey of modern German history from 1800-2000, and situates Germany's fragmented past within its full context. Kitchen:
Provides readers a long view of German history, allowing them to see continuities and changes
Covers the unification of Germany, the German Empire, the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich, the Federal Republic, the collapse of Communism, and the re-unification
Examines cultural history as well as political and economic history
Includes coverage of regional history rather than focusing on the dominant role of Prussia
