Ulrich Herbert examines German history in the twentieth century from two perspectives that seemingly contradict each other. On the one hand, great wars and political upheavals pass before us in the pages of this seminal monograph.
Germany is the land in which radical ideologies, both left and right, were born; and it is the only land in which they both took state form and made, each in its own way, a defining imprint on both the first and second half of the century. On the other hand, the author describes the emergence of modern industrial society, an emergence that has led to decades of confrontations over social and political arrangements between different political systems.
Wars and the longest peace period in European history, right-wing and left-wing terror, utopia and politics, capitalism and the welfare state, totalitarianism and democratic society, gender and generational conflict, culture and lifestyle, European integration and globalization - this book is about how all these contradictory events, processes and phenomena were structured and related to each other in German history during the twentieth century. Ulrich Herbert is a historian and Professor Emeritus at the University of Freiburg.
