Germany and the Germans: After Unification; New Revised Edition

by John Ardagh, Katharina Ardagh

Like the author's previous books on France, this book on West Germany is a study of society and of regional, economic and cultural matters. It deals with the regional patchwork of the country, the causes and consequences of the "economic miracle", the issue of the Turkish "guestworker", the arts and a chapter on East German-style communism and the relationship between the two states.

[David]

If you want to know what it was like in Germany between the end of WWII and 1985, this book will give you an idea. It is a long book with a lot of detail. It provides a good ideal of what it was like to live there during this time period.

[Lysergius]

A helpful guide as I was living there at the time.

[Elina]

It was boring, like listening to a grandma go on and on about things she knew well but described in a completely subjective manner. It is also outdated and this makes it even more boring. It has some information but it should be improved.
