Klappentext The third volume in the series focuses on Germany's explosive economic transformation after 1800, the cycles of war, defeat, and dictatorship from 1914 to 1950, and the “German miracle” of revitalization after WWII. The picture is one of rapid change, but within a framework of recognizable long-term continuities. This book vividly portrays how Germany contributed to the rapid transformation of Europe after 1800 while retaining its distinctive features.
