The History of Germany: Wars, Peace, and Progress (Skriuwer.com Edition) - Paperback

by Auke de Haan (Author)

Germany's history is one of the most studied and debated in the world, yet the full arc of the story extends far beyond the twentieth century events that dominate popular attention. This book traces German history from the Germanic tribes who halted Roman expansion, through the medieval Holy Roman Empire, the Reformation, the Wars of German Unification, both World Wars, and the division and reunification of the Cold War era.

Written for English-speaking readers, the book provides a clear and reliable account of how Germany developed from a fragmented collection of kingdoms and principalities into a unified modern nation, and how the political and cultural decisions made over centuries shaped the country that exists today. It covers difficult chapters honestly and situates them within the longer historical context that gives them meaning.
