Great for German History Buffs
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I took my time researching material to find a solid source on Germany. This book has facts, and gives readers a chance to learn about a Country which is known for very few things.
Excellent introduction to German history
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Fulbrook writes in very informative and eloquent manner that makes this book very accessible to both college students and the casual reader. While introducing key themes of 20th-century German history, Fulbrook also offers her own very interesting perspectives rich with details. Finally, it was nice to see a book on German history that doesn't over-indulge on the Nazi period.
Very Decent Overview of the 20th Century as a Whole
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
While some periods, like the Third Reich, make books upon books in themselves, Fulbrook's narrative is concise and gets straight to the point. It tells just enough to whet one's taste and push them toward other topics. The post war period is especially good and destroys the black and white Communism is bad and FDR is good by showing how certain aspects of each were beneficial to people in each country. Very unbiased and very well researched. Not the perfect history book, but a near perfect overview into the most turbulent period in German history.
How you can trust a review?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Having seen the vicious review on file for this book I went out and had a look at the actual text. Nothing can be that bad. As ever, the one star rating tells you rather more about the reviewer than the book! This is a superb history, but of course it tramples over some toes of those who have a simplistic right and wrong view of the GDR. No doubt there are old scores to settle here. But it would be asking too much for someone to rise above their own prejudices and judge a book on its merits.
