German society has radically changed, and is in the midst of further changes. ermany is a newly self-confident country − though still enormously livided, more than 15 years after the fall of the wall. It is a big international player. It sends troops abroad. Patriotism" is no longer quite such a dirty word. Germany is an easier fatherland today than at any time in past decades: due to its readiness to face up to the past, as never before. Here is that rare and long overdue thing: a lucid, entertaining, wellinformed account of Germany's post 1945 history, and of her hard march to reunification and national dignity. Crawshaw writes with insight, hope and compassion. The result is a most timely and valuable book.” John Le Carré
