The Best "Reduced" History of Germany Ever!
27 de marzo de 2003
Por Un cliente
- Publicado en Amazon.com
Formato:Tapa blanda
To provide such an insightful history of such a complicated country as Germany in a mere 460 pages is some feat. I've read many German histories, but this was the one that left me feeling as if I understood the German soul. Especially valuable is Barraclough's illumination of Rome's, and a series of Popes', retrograde influence on Germany's early development. If you can only read one German history, this should be it.

Emphasis on "Origins"
13 de octubre de 2007
Por A. Lowry
- Publicado en Amazon.com
Formato:Tapa blanda
I'm enjoying Barraclough's book, but the potential buyer should be clear what it is and isn't.
Starting in the year A.D. 800, Barraclough traces the political development of Germany, and the book is indeed excellent for its handling of the early Holy Roman Empire, the Investiture Controversy, and the rise and fall of the Hohenstaufens.
The accession of the Habsburgs inaugurates "the Age of the Princes," which the author treats with a jaundiced eye. The unstated assumption is that Germany fell behind England and France by failing to come together as a unified state.
Then one gets 100 pages on, brace yourself, 1519 to 1939. (The book was published just after WW2.) I haven't gotten there yet, but it seems safe to guess that the treatment will be on the cursory side, presumably with an emphasis on the continuing repercussions of the medieval background.
So I would hesitate to call this *the* book to read on German history. Holborn's 3-vol. survey is probably better, but Barraclough's incisive analysis makes this a good one to have for the earlier period.

Review of book "The Origins of Modern Germany"
28 de diciembre de 2012
Por Donald Ohnemus
- Publicado en Amazon.com
Formato:Tapa blanda|Compra verificada por Amazon
I purchased this book, in print, to help me understand the area that my paternal ancestors emigrated from in 1854. The book is a very detailed, scholarly treatise, and it is sometimes a bit hard to keep all the detail sorted out, but it is obivously a very well researched book. It was what I was looking for.
