Small and perfectly formed
Read this book. Visit Germany. Really visit Germany. Everything you thought you knew will be proven wrong. Everything you think you know about Germany and Germans will be wrong. You will be better informed. You will see Germany and Germans in a new light. May it make you curious to stand back and look at your own history again. Because most of what you think you know about that is also wrong. Dr Thomson has shone a light on “that forgetfulness of history” ( GK Chesterton 1921) as it applies to Germany and its relationship to the world and vice versa. It is magisterial , balanced, thoughtful and best of all…… thoroughly approachable and digestible. A splendid read and should be on every curriculum and in every library.
