Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThis book is an incredible resource for modern historians in all fields for their research due to Herbert's' extensive research on all countries and their relationship with Germany in the 20th century. By synthesizing such a wide range of sources, including a 50-page bibliography for other researchers to use, and drawing connections between seemingly random events, Herbert's book provides a nearly complete telling of twentieth century German history. * Kyra Dezjot, Kean University, New England Journal of History *
