{"product_id":"the-germans","title":"The Germans","description":"In this definitive history, one of the world’s premier authorities on Germany comes to grips with the complex paradoxes at the heart of the German identity.\n\nThey have given mankind unique triumphs in science, literature, philosophy, music, and art. They have also produced Hitler and the Holocaust. They are romantic and conservative, idealistic and practical, proud and insecure, ruthless and good-natured. They are, in short, the Germans.\n\nGordon A. Craig's masterly study explores the roots of many contemporary institutions in German history and closely examines such topics as religion, money, Germans and Jews, women, professors and students, romantics, literature and society, soldiers, Berlin, and the German language. Craig also discusses the events surrounding the fall of the Berlin Wall and the German reunification, while offering invaluable insights into Germany’s pivotal role in world affairs for over a century.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0452010853\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0452010853.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Craig, Gordon A.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
