Blackbourn radically revises conventional narratives of German history, demonstrating the existence of a distinctly German presence in the world centuries before its unification- and revealing a national identity far more complicated than previously imagined. He traces Germany's evolution from the loosely bound Holy Roman Empire of 1500 to a sprawling colonial power to a twenty-first-century beacon of democracy. Viewed through a global lens, familiar landmarks of German history-- the Reformation, the Revolution of 1848, the Nazi regime-- are transformed, while others are unearthed and explored, as Blackbourn reveals Germany's leading role in creating modern universities and its sinister involvement in slave-trade economies. A bold and original account that upends the idea that a nation's history should be written as though it took place entirely within that nation's borders. -- Adapted from Amazon.
