really more like 2.5 it wasn't anything special but it got the job done more or less. got a bit too much into boring details of election statistics and things like that for my taste. would have like a bit more about culture. but pretty concise so it's got that going for it.

A useful summary of the two Germanies. Don't expect much in terms of theory or analysis, but useful for anyone getting into the field.

[Mark · Rating 5 out of 5]

Probably the best survey of German history since 1945 (to 1992 anyway)

[Camden Woods · Rating 3 out of 5]

For a history class, very informative definitely a great book for those trying to get a very in depth idea of Germany and how it became what it is today.
