Jag har letat länge efter en bra bok om Tysklands historia, men det här var inte den. ( ) It's certainly concise. I picked this one up after a trip to Germany where I realized I was seeing several historical monuments that referenced events that I had literally zero context for. While I wouldn't say I'm an expert after reading this, I at least better understand why there are so many random castles. More like an abridged history of Germany. I expect a concise history to be complete, just using as few words as possible. It could also be called a short history of modern Germany because coverage of the pre-modern era is weak. The chapters get progressively longer, and time periods shorter; far more drastic than the disclaimer in the preface led me to believe. It glosses over many details, some of which are important. On the other hand, chapters on the 20th century are an alphabet soup of acronyms for every little political party, which can be difficult to keep straight. Although much of the content is even-handed, the author's leftist bias is evident in many places. When she writes about politics and economics, she often makes judgments that assume her readers share her underlying biases. I don't, and found that a bit annoying. Finally, rather than being concise, the prose is rather dense. Finishing the book was a chore. This is a good, short introduction to the history of Germany from the Medieval period through the contemporary period. As such, it is not for specialists since each period is not covered in great detail but it does provide enough background to responsibly survey each period and it does offer additional resources. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Con este libro se pretende proporcionar al lector una guia clara e informativa de los tortuosos caminos de la historia alemana, desde la Edad Media hasta nuestros dias. La compleja y multidimensional historia de las tierras alemanas ha dado origen a toda una serie de debates y diferencias de interpretacion; en esta obra, la profesora Fulbrook ofrece, en una sintesis precisa, una extensa gama de material historico y explora, a la luz de las controversias academicas, las relaciones entre los factores sociales, politicos y culturales. '... un excelente tratamiento de un material complejo; una exposicion clara y precisa.' R. W. Scribner, Universidad de Cambridge '... un extraordinario trabajo de condensacion, que logra que estos procesos tan complicados resulten amenos e inteligibles ... la concision y agudeza que caracterizan a esta combinacion de sintesis y analisis, resultan admirables.' Ian Kershaw, Universidad de Sheffield No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
