Summary

This audiobook provides a clear and informative guide to the twists and turns of German history from the early Middle Ages to the present day. The multifaceted, problematic history of the German lands has furnished a wide range of debates and differences of interpretation. Mary Fulbrook provides a crisp synthesis of a vast array of historical material and explores the interrelationships between social, political, and cultural factors in the light of scholarly controversies.

First published in 1990, A Concise History of Germany is the only single-volume history of Germany in English that offers broad, general coverage. It has become standard reading for English-speaking students of German, European studies, and history, and it is a useful guide to general learners, members of the business community, and travelers to Germany.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Fascinating history, excellently narrated.

As an Anglo-German who grew up in the UK, I'm more familiar with English history and chose this book because I was looking to learn more about my German heritage. This book was excellent for that. The author often contrasts German events to their contemporary English ones which is very helpful. I would highly recommend this book for any English speakers who want to learn some German history.

dull history, hard to get excited and involved.

The history is not rich with colour, 8n comparison to the history of Britain it really was hard to follow. very few memorable events to keep you interested.
