Germany 2000 Years1950

Germany: 2000 Years is a brilliant survey, both political and cultural, of Germany's history from the time of the pagan tribes to the collapse of the Weimar Republic. Dr. Reinhart sees Germany as an integral part of European tradition, to which she has contributed immeasurably and from which she departs only to court disaster. Each section of the book opens with a chronological table, followed by a brief account of political events and a discussion of major cultural trends. Literature, art, music, religion, trade, fashions and manners are treated with scholarly detail, in a polished and readable style which provides penetrating insight into the true background of modern Germany. - Back cover.
