An interesting and well presented overview of Germany's history and how it has effected its culture. Not sure I agree with his final argument though - it seems to suggest that if you ignore the far-right they'll go away. I agree with no longer trying to appease them, but ignoring the far-right has never done anyone in any minority group any good. Perhaps I am not quite understanding his argument - if all this history was leading up to a final thesis, I think that thesis needed more than the last few minutes to present itself.

Short run down of German history, slightly anti East German/Prussia but a great read

A good brief overview of german history in my opinion. Books like these make it much more easier to understand historical links throughout longer periods of time. Of course it's not an in-depth dive into German history, nor does it claim to be. I found the last pages to be focusing on the divide of East and West Germany to be a little out if place but apart from that I believe this is a great casual read if you're interested in german history.

Don't know why I keep trying to listen to history audiobooks, I totally zone out unless I'm focused 😅
