Reviews
In addition to preserving all of the strengths of William Carr's classic text on modern Germany, David Wetzel has done a brilliant job revising some interpretations on the basis of new scholarship and bringing the story up to the present. This is a clearly written, well informed account of Germany's fascinating and often tragic national history. * James Sheehan, Professor Emeritus, Stanford University, USA *
