A good objective review,

This review is from: The Rush to German Unity (Paperback)
Mr. Jarausch has writen a detailed and comprehensive look at the latest German revolution and recreation of the German State. Beginning with the first tentative steps of protest to the packed streets of the Wende and the first holes in the Wall, we end the book with an elected and reunited Germany and an honest assessment of its pros and cons.
Very helpful here is that Mr. Jarausch eschews triumphalism, which mars the majority of works on German reunity. Whether you're in the pro or anti-reunion camp (and I'm in the latter) you can't fault Mr. Jarausch's thorough examination of causes and events, and deep insights into the motives and character of all parties concerned. I'll spare the reader my opinions as to why I think this unity was a rush job in more ways than one, and for less than noble motives, except to endorse a thorough reading of this book for all those interested in modern Germany and Europe. One criticism to the publisher: it's annoying to change type fonts, especially in the middle of sentences. Printed on a Gutenberg press, perhaps? |
