Addressed to the general reader inter-ested in European history and interna-tional relations, it will also be useful to students, journalists, librarians, and anyone needing a lucid introduction to the background of postwar Germany and its role in the contemporary world. This concise account of the impact of complex factors in the Middle Ages and early modern period on the course of more recent German history is comple-mented with a dozen original maps, a brief chronology, and a selected bibliog-raphy.
