Germany A Nation in Its Time

The first major history of Germany in a generation, a work that presents a five-hundred-year narrative that challenges our traditional perceptions of Germany's conflicted past.

'The last days of the Third Reich have often been told, but seldom with the verve, perception and elegance of Volker Ulrich's rich narrative … an instructive lesson in how societies cope with the devastating reality of a surrender that they grimly await' Richard Overy, author of The Bombing War
