Description:This history of Germany from its remote beginnings to World War II has been written to answer the dire need of a comprehensive and really modern coverage of its subject in a single volume, and it has been planned and composed by an internationally known German historian expressly for readers of English. 'The German People' is an outcome of Mr. Valentin's conviction that the character of a people is its fate, of his certainty as a historian that the present enigma of the German character can be understood only in the light of the millennium that determined its complexities, and of his profound belief that the enigma must be understood by the rest of the world as the first condition of arranging a tenable modus vivendi with a defeated Germany. George N. Shuster, president of Hunter College, who says: "It has many of the virtues of Sir Bernard Pares's 'Russia', being as objective as one could reasonably desire and yet not colorlessly concerned with factual data alone. The book has a definite point of view and reflects an open and tolerant mind. . . . It very properly gives space to economic, social, and cultural developments. Literature, art, and music are not neglected, and the comment on such matters is deftly woven into the narrative. Valentin proves himself a humanist of real stature. . . . It is not a harangue, but an explanation."(From inside the front cover)We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
