Geschichte Deutschlands im 20. Jahrhundert

"An impressive history of Germany in the 20th century - a record of political decisions in times of technocratic frenzy." Patrick Bahners, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung Germany in the 20th century - that is two world wars, a failed democracy, Hitler's dictatorship and the Holocaust, a country divided for 40 years. But it is also a welfare state, prosperity, liberalisation and globalisation, a successful democracy and the longest period of peace in European history. Ulrich Herbert's most important work is the brilliant surveying of a tremendous century - and a yardstick by which contemporary history will have to be measured in the future.
