Meaning heavily so among Germans.

Deutsche Geschichte des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts

Mann never attempts to analyze the history of Anti-Semitism nor why Germany would be such a long standing practitioner of this prejudice and a violent practitioner at that. Understated is the fact that it was every day Germans who participated in all aspect of what he admits was pointless horrific murderer. Further is raises admittedly pointless question of how many were murdered.

Mann is not among the Holocaust deniers, but it is not to his credit that he raises the question of the actual count of the innocent dead. Rather than return to the Bismarck years and the end of the 19th century, there are the two world wars that must be discussed. By the dictated treaty of the victors, Germany is labeled as the singular cause of World War I.

Professor Mann makes a muddle of argument that technically Germany did fire the first shots, but the first aggressive actions of the war were not German. All of this hyper legality aside, The History of Germany adds little to the notion that the underlying, causes of World War I make no sense to a modern reader. Once again we read of several nations filled with people ready to and willing to fight for; something or other.

Neither here nor elsewhere have I found a case that says World War I was about anything or that one side was necessarily better, cleaner or more moral in its purposes than the other. Professor Mann, was aware of written proof that a victorious Germany would not have been good for Europe. His point is that none of the documents can be offered as evidence that German went into the war with these particular aims.

They evolved as the war became more deadly and costly. His argument is that in , victors wanted something to give back to the population at home. Something that would pay for and somehow make the case for the victorious dead. From a German Point of View the Treaty they were forced to sign was hardly proof of allied commitment to the Wilson's peace without victory. German politics were severely unstable, when nationalistic resentments were at a peak and the beginnings of economic growth had been reversed by the world wide depression.

That under him, the political situation stabilized. Be a Nazi , be passive or be dead is a pretty definite way to achieve stability. The body politic stabilized. Be a Nazi or do not exist as a political party…. By massive spending he did create work, most likely the single most important reason why he could get away with enforced stability. Mann points a finger at the rest of Europe as also being at fault. No one else forced Germany to have rational politics.

By what mechanism or why they would want to confront another otherwise independent nation is not explained. Without going into a point for point discussion, this argument is infuriating. Every nation had its own issues and none of them were spoiling to go back into the known meat grinder of industrial warfare.

About the author

German failed to be responsible for Germany. Germany wanted, or allowed itself to wage war, in a time and place when others had no desire or taste for war. Allowing for Professor Man case at the highest, most theoretical level. However beneath some arguable discussions The History reveals some serious failures.

Mann repeated argues that Nazism was never more than Hitler. That once he died it went away. No the loyal party followers learned to change their uniforms and deny and disavow. Not the same thing. Further Mann has a tendency to slide over suffering by the nationals over run by the German Army. Hitler, Mann tells us had no intention of merely occupying nations. Superior human rights belong only to superior humans, and superior humans win.

Faced with infamous German depredations he often write that these things are well known; there is no need to detail them here. Once the revenge of the Russian Army presses on Germany, we suddenly hear about roads filled with suffering women and children.

As a book of history there are observations that stay with me relative to The History of Germany since I have little use for book reviews that tell me the reviewer is not going to review the book because the reader can read that where. It is your review in front of me, tell me about the book. Likewise a history that repeatedly says, go read about this elsewhere is hardly being definitive. Professor Mann has a tendency to pronounce grand generalities about all humans, or diplomacy or philosophers and assume they are true because he says so.

This is a typical lecture technique but becomes intrusive and distracting on the page. The reader is or should be asking, are these things true or are they just taking up space? There are too many inconsistencies and contradictions. This is a style of history writing that is hard to typify.

It has the feel of a very learned discussion, but a personal conversation. More like a fireside post postprandial presentation worthy of close attention and consideration. The History of Germany since , sets out to prove that the usual history of Europe is unfairly, unsympathetic towards Germany. I garnered a much better understanding of that POV, but I also came away wondering what does it mean to be German? This is THE definitive history of Germany from until the mid s when the book was published. This was an excellently balanced account of the recent history of Germany charting the development of a distinct and integral European nation out of the myriad petty states that existed prior to the shockwave sent rippling through Europe by the French Revolution and particularly by Napoleon.

Mann charts the rise of a German nation while detailing the characters involved in this convoluted story, from Hegel to Hitler. This a fair and balanced account that places blame where its due and praises th This was an excellently balanced account of the recent history of Germany charting the development of a distinct and integral European nation out of the myriad petty states that existed prior to the shockwave sent rippling through Europe by the French Revolution and particularly by Napoleon.

For anyone interested in German history in the modern era this is an ideal place to start. A fantastic overview about German history until or so. I read this in the English translation. A very good overview of German history offering a helpful corrective to the pessimistic Anglo-Saxon view of German history most notable in AJP Taylor's work.
