Recenzii
In sum, this textbook can only be highly recommended.
One of the best recent general introductions to post-WW II German history, this volume examines the political, economic, cultural, and social history of a separated Germany ... Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates; graduate students.
Caldwell and Hanshew have written the best general introduction to the history of Germany since 1945. Based on the most up to date sources, well organized and well written, this vibrant book provides a thorough and clearly argued overview of the major social, economic, political and cultural developments in contemporary German history.
Simply superb! Caldwell and Hanshew combine an insightful and clear narrative of Germany's economic and political rise in Europe with captivating illustrative quotations, images and examples. An outstanding introduction to German history since World War II and an excellent refresher for specialists.
Teaching the history of Germany since 1945 has hitherto been hampered by the lack of a single volume, up-to-date survey. Peter C. Caldwell and Karrin Hanshew have not only filled this gap, but squared a circle - with a thematically and conceptually wide-reaching yet brief and accessible book.
