9781845452001: Conflict, Catastrophe and Continuity: Essays on Modern German History

Inhaltsangabe

The 18 essays on German history presented here by Biess (modern German and European history, U. of California at San Diego, US), Roseman (Jewish studies, U. of Indiana, US), and Schissler (modern history, U. of Hanover, Germany) were penned by former students of the scholar of German history, Volker Berghahn, or historians influenced by him. The essays thus reflect the chronological range of Berghahn's focus (the 1860s to the 1960s) and address themes central to his oeuvre: society, elites, and domestic conflict; logics and continuities in German foreign policy; and the social and cultural transformation of postwar Germany.
