Index
"Overall, Kitchen offers a well-written and useful text for anyone studying or interested in modern Germany history." (Times Higher Education Supplement, 23 February 2012)
"Kitchen's History of Modern Germany provides a
comprehensive and lively account of key developments in German
history from the early nineteenth century to the post-unification
period. Ranging from diplomatic and political history to women's
history, sexuality, Jews, food, drink and fashion, and changing
patterns of social stratification, Kitchen's second edition, with
newly written sections on Nazism and the GDR, incorporates the very
latest historical research while remaining readable and accessible
to a wide audience."
--Stuart Taberner, University of Leeds
"Whoever looks for a classic political history of modern
Germany, is best served with Martin Kitchen's most reliable, well
organized and up-to-date account."
--Thomas Kühne, Clark University
"Martin Kitchen has provided a lucid and scholarly narrative
focused on Germany's emergence as a national state from its
fragmented condition in the early 19th century and
post-1945 decades. Along the way, he has interwoven the necessary
political, economic, social, and cultural trends that are useful in
providing a comprehensive account of the complexities that mark
this history up to Angela Merkel. He has also effectively used
statistics and vivid portraits of the actors to offer a living
history."
--Donald Dietrich, Boston College
