"For international readers, this is a pleasantly balanced book full of precise details; for German, it is a well-crafted handbook on recent German history. "
- Financial Times Deutschland, Berlin.


"A fine book rich in information and solid judgement. Tom Heneghan's description and analysis reflect the reality of post-reunification Germany. The 'Berlin Republic' is a normal state, with its strengths and its scandals. This book challenges non-German readers to put aside their suspicions and see the country as it is. "
- Alfred Grosser, French political science professor and author of Germany in Our Time and Deutschland in Europa.


"Tom Heneghan is a consummate professional, a reporter's reporter. He writes lucidly and with forensic accuracy, lighting a path through the minefield of contradictions and prejudices that greeted the Germans' bid to re-unite as a nation and its stormy aftermath... Unchained Eagle is both an accomplished piece of detective work, and a gripping account of the greatest story of our time."
- William Horsely, BBC European Affairs Correspondent.


"Tom Heneghan has succeeded in giving a fair and thorough analysis of an epochal change that has led to a new perception of Germany's role in the decade since the fall of the Berlin Wall. His first-hand account and brilliant interpretation of events up to Helmut Kohl's fall from grace contribute to a better understanding of what makes Germany tick today."
- Christian Müller, Neue Zürcher Zeitung correspondent and author of Helmut Kohl, A Man of His Times and Colonel Stauffenberg - a biography.


"In the clear, direct style of the foreign journalist and observer, Heneghan demonstrates a differentiated, perceptive view of divided, united and disunited Germany as well as compassion for the emergence of the new Germany - from its 'brooding past' to its becoming 'a normal country'."
- Angelika Volle, Executive Editor, Internationale Politik.
