Beskrivning

This volume, in the Oxford History of Modern Europe series contains extensive accounts of social and cultural, as well as political developments in Germany from 1770-1866. Rather than viewing the creation of a Prussian-led Nation State, as 'natural' or inevitable, the book emphasizes alternative forces of unity and division which existed up until the Austro-Prussian War of 1866.

`monumental and deeply-impressive ... His text is remarkably well written, full of striking judgements and enlivened by frequent flashes of dry humour: it is extremely readable in a way that long books on German history have not always been.'Times Higher Education Supplement
