The Short Oxford History of Germany series provides a concise, readable, and authoritative point of entry for the history of Germany, from the dawn of the nineteenth century to the present day. The series is divided into five volumes, each one dealing with a distinct phase in the country’s history. The first two volumes take the reader from the dying days of the Holy Roman Empire, through unification under Prussian leadership in 1871, to the collapse of the Wilhelmine Reich at the end of the First World War. The subsequent three volumes then focus on the Weimar period from 1919 to 1933; the calamitous years of the Third Reich and the Second World War; and Germany since 1945, first as two separate states on the front line of the Cold War and later as a reunified country at the heart of Europe.
