History of Germany in the Twentieth Century (Baker Knowledge Series)

"History of Germany in the 20th Century" is a small book about the history of Germany in the 20th century. It describes the German path from a monarchy with authoritarian features to a democracy and welfare republic rooted in the West. Interspersed among these are experiences that have marked the history of Germany and Europe in the 20th century: world wars and the failure of democracy, dictatorship and crime, division and reunification. Andreas Wilschen's description focuses on questioning Germany's "special path", paying special attention to the long-term social development that is often full of contradictions.
