The Reluctant Master: Germany and the New Europe

(english) Stephen Green

179K0

Britain leaves the EU, Germany becomes powerful, and the phantom of the Fourth Reich appears? Iterative civilization, returning glory, should we be the master or the mentor? The European debt crisis has highlighted Germany's importance to Europe, but Germany's image as a dominant force in Europe reflects its past history. The Reluctant Master is an extensive study of Germany from the Holy Roman Empire through the Second and Third Reichs (the years of Hitler's rule). The book not only reveals how a mature and developed civilized country like this degenerated into the barbaric rule of the Nazis, but also how it rebounded and became an "economic engine" within a generation. Most importantly, Stephen Green studies the extent to which Germany dominates its EU neighbors, and tries to tell us what does this mean?
