Review of 'The Shortest History of Germany' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
2.5* rounded up
There.much of interest here, but a lot.if.it.was presented in a very confused/confusing way - that may be a product if trying to fit 1800 years into a slim book.
The maps are awful.
The focus on Prussia/"East Elbia"/GDR as the root of all evil in Germany feels simplistic, but I don't have enough knowledge of German history to counter it.
I need to read a proper history.
