The Divided Nation: A History of Germany, 1918-1990
"Very nice introductory text. Excellent treatment of the German Democratic Republic. I found the chapters on the most recent period particularly useful in teaching this course. Nice treatment of opposition courses in both GDR and FRG."--Elizabeth Peifer, University of North Carolina"A first-rate persuasive synthesis not only of modern German history but of some of the related historiography...Fulbrook's study is remarkably objective. Her account, a felicitous combination of narrative and analysis, is accompanied...by some perceptive generalizations that seek to make sense of twentieth-century Germany....Highly recommended to student and expert alike..."--Queen's Quarterly"Excellent, concise, well-written."--G.S. Kent, University of Maryland"Unique among German history textbooks, this book provides detailed coverage of the post-1945 periods, making it unusually useful."--Jonathan Sperber, University of Missouri"An excellent text for an undergraduate course in German history.  It offers a good balance between factual presentation and interpretation."--Margaret H. Pertzoff, Randolph-Macon Women's College"Durchaus sachgerechte und Wesentliches treffende Erzahlung." ["A straightforward account that goes right to the heart of the matter."]--Neue Zurcher Zeitung"I am planning to teach courses on Central Europe and Europe since 1945.  This book would be perfect for them."--Jena M. Gaines, Mount Holyoke College"Useful summary of Germany from 1945 with a good introduction on the topic from 1918-1945.  The summary dealing with Germany from 1945 should be helpful in teaching German history at the undergraduate level."--George Strong, College of William and Mary"Excellent."--Elizabeth C. Adams, Frostburg State University"Very well structured:  succinct and yet comprehensive."--Narasingha P. Sil, Western Oregon State College
