Customer Reviews

This is a three-volume set.

You may be just looking at one of the three-volume set, so be sure to get them all. Volume one: The Rise and Fall of the “Holy Empire” Volume two: The Second Empire and the Weimar Republic Volume three: From the NAZI era to the Present (1986) To keep the time in perspective, the Berlin Wall went up in the middle of the night on Aug. 13, 1961, and the Fall of the Berlin Wall was in 1989. Because volumes one and two were written by Kurt F. Reinhardt, the first volume has the table of contents for both volumes. Volume three was written by Gerhart Hoffmeister and Fredric C. Tubach.

Germany's History From Charlemagne to the Age of Enlightenment

From back cover: [Volume One] "'Germany: 2000 Years' is a brilliant survey, both political and cultural, of Germany's history from the time of the pagan tribes to the collapse of the Weimar Republic. Dr. Reinhardt sees Germany as an integral part of European tradition, to which she has contributed immeasurable and from which she departs only to court disaster. Each section of the book opens with a chronological table, followed by a brief account of political events and a discussion of major cultural trends. Literature, art, music, religion, trade, fashions and manners are treated with scholarly detail, in a polished and readable style which provides penetrating insight into the true background of modern Germany. Unusual Illustrations and excellent maps enrich the text, arranged for this new edition in two convenient volumes. An enlarged, up-to-date bibliography supplies invaluable sources for the study of recent trends in German history."
