Özet

Based on a lifetime living in and reporting on Germany and Central Europe, award-winning journalist and author Peter Millar tackles the fascinating and complex story of the people at the heart of our continent.

Focussing on nine cities (only six of which are in the Germany of today), he takes us on a zigzag ride back through time via the fall of the Berlin Wall through the horrors of two world wars and the patchwork states of the Middle Ages to the splendour of Charlemagne and the fall of Rome, with side swipes at everything on the way, from Henry VIII to the Spanish Empire.

Included are mini portraits of aspects of German culture, from sex and money to food and drink. Not just a book about Germany but about Europe as a whole and how we got where we are today - and where we might be tomorrow.

Well narrated, and absorbing account of how Germany came to be and many facets of the Germanic peoples’ culture and values. Varied and interesting content - I learnt a lot. Definitely recommended.

Fascinating and well researched overview of Germany’s history, politics and culture

Very interesting to see German and European history from a more German perspective.

Occasionally gets and bit bogged down and sometimes slightly repetitive but overall very good.

Fascinating

Decent book that is part eye witness, part second hand history book, worth a listen but I generally avoid ready the mail and the guardian to lessen from my life the polarised tripe the propose as news - the book would have been better with out it and the unconscious anti catholic bias of the northern Irish man and lack bi-temporal assessment that is needed when casting opinion on why things happened the way they happened.

Bit of a ramble, turning into a political statement

A very nice and measured history that doesn’t pretend to be more than it is, is interspersed with accounts of the authors own experiences and reflections, as well as a few pretty amusing anecdotes.
