A comprehensive study of German idiosyncrasy

This book takes us from the ancient tribes living in nowadays Germany, through the Teutonic knights and the Middle Age and finally to Bismarck and the Nazis in order to explain why modern Germans are the way they are. The origins of typical German features such as the almost religious discipline are easy to understand after reading this book. A must read for anyone intending to embark on serious study of German civilisation.
