Produktinformationen zu „A Mighty Fortress “
The word "German" was being used by the Romans as early as the mid'first century B.C. to describe tribes in the eastern Rhine valley. Nearly two thousand years later, the richness and complexity of German history have faded beneath the long shadow of the country's darkest hour in World War II. Now, award-winning historian Steven Ozment, whom The New Yorker has hailed as "a splendidly readable scholar," gives us the fullest portrait possible in this sweeping, original, and provocative history of the German people, from antiquity to the present, holding a mirror up to an entire civilization -- one that has been alternately Western Europe's most successful and most perilous.

Rezension zu „A Mighty Fortress “
"'One cannot but admire the ingenuity with which the author leaps from period to period, tracing continuities across the centuries' Christopher Clark, Sunday Telegraph 'Ozment gives one of the most prolific accounts of the German nation to date... It provides an original and detailed, yet provocative assessment of German history and entire civilisation' The Big Issue 'Where Ozment really excels is in his analysis of German cultural and intellectual movements' The Sunday Times 'This book is a minor masterpiece of compression, intelligent selection and lucid analysis... It provides an outstanding introduction to the history of Western Europe's least understood people' The Spectator"
