  • Read in an afternoon. Remember for a lifetime.

    In his acclaimed new bestseller, James Hawes tells the story of Europe's most admired and feared country, from Julius Caesar to Angela Merkel. With more than 100 maps and images, this is a fresh, concise and entertaining attempt to answer the question: are the Germans really us, or them?


    "Brexit and Trump have given this sweeping story of Germany's struggles with its demons an urgent topicality. For as Hawes knows better than anyone, it there is a future for liberal democracy, it will be a German one" - Nick Cohen

    "A bold thesis, an authoritative sweep and an exhilarating reed. A must for anyone interested in how Germany has come to the the way it is today" - Karen Leeder, Professor of Modern German Literature, University of Oxford

    "A daring attempt to rememdy the ignorance of centuries in little over 200 pages" - Nicholas Byle, Schroder Professor of German, University of Cambridge
