Description

Questions of international politics, as they relate to German history, are explored in this controversial volume. Of the seven essays that constitute the book, four centre on diplomatic history and international politics, while the other three illuminate related political and cultural transformations. The afterword by the two editors deals with the works and philosophy of Gordon Craig, the preeminent historian of Germany to whom the book is dedicated. Craig's achievement has been to bring knowledge and interpretation into narrative history and to show that history is a self-sufficient and self-contained discipline, important for its own sake.
