This accessible study traces the dramatic social, cultural, and political tensions in Germany since 1918. For the new edition, the author has updated the book throughout, providing more coverage on the early twentieth century and reflecting recent work on the Nazi period, particularly with respect to controversies on the Holocaust. She also provides a new chapter on Germany's development since unification in 1990, with a focus especially on the continuing significance of commemoration and remembrance within Germany at the start of the twenty-first century.
