- Summary:
-
"Weaving together interpretative narrative, acute analysis, and dramatic personal anecdotes, Stern brings to life the Germanys he has experienced: Weimar, the Third Reich, postwar West and East Germany, and the unified country after 1990. His friendships with leading German intellectuals and politicians give him special insights into their struggle to create a liberal democracy. He shows that the tumultuous history of Germany, alternately Europe's strength and Europe's scourge, offers political lessons for citizens everywhere - especially those facing or escaping from tyranny."--BOOK JACKET.
