Conflict, Catastrophe and Continuity cover

Bringing together some of the most prominent contemporary historians of modern Germany alongside innovative newcomers to the field, this volume offers new perspectives on key debates surrounding Germany’s descent into, and emergence from, the Nazi catastrophe. It explores the intersections between society, economy, and international policy, with a particular interest in the relations between elites and the wider society, and provides new insights into the complex continuities and discontinuities of modern German history. This volume offers a rich selection of essays that contribute to our understanding of the road to war, Nazism, and the Holocaust, as well as Germany’s transformation after 1945.

“…a rich volume that manages to be remarkably coherent and diverse at the same time…The volume covers a large range of topics in modern German history in an engaging fashion and provides much stimulation for thought and discussion.”  ·  H-German
