A highlight reel of the must-know moments across two millennia of world-changing historyfrom the Roman age to Charlemagne to von Bismarck to Merkel. The Shortest History books deliver thousands of years of history in one riveting, fast-paced read. A country both admired and feared, Germany has been the epicenter of world events time and again: the Reformation, both World Wars, the fall of the Berlin Wall. It did not emerge as a modern nation until 1871yet today, Germany is the world's fourth-largest economy and a standard-bearer of liberal democracy.
There's no point studying the past unless it sheds some light on the present, writes James Hawes in this brilliantly concise history that has already captivated hundreds of thousands of readers. It is time, now more than ever, for us all to understand the real history of Germany.
James Hawes published six novels before turning his storytelling gifts to nonfiction. His previous two shortest histories, The Shortest History of Germany and The Shortest History of England, have sold more than half a million copies around the world. Hawes has known Ireland since the 1970s, lectured for two years at St. Patrick's College, Maynooth (where the IRA tried to recruit him), and is married to an Irishwoman.
