The Germans

Adopting a broad historical perspective, Professor Craig analyses the intricacies of the German identity. Whether he is considering Romanticism or religion, literature or money-making, soldiers or students, Jews, women or the continuing conflict between democracy and nationalism, he encapsulates vividly both the situation today and its roots in the past. A reunited Germany will clearly play an ever greater role in world affairs; with a new Afterword to bring it up to date, this acclaimed masterpiece provides a definitive account, probing but sympathetic, of the fascinating paradoxes of German identity.
