'The Shortest History of Germany' takes us on an unforgettable grand tour of what really matters in German history. He tells the story of Europe's most admired and feared country, from Julius Caesar to Angela Merkel. The perception of modern Germany as a final outpost of liberal democratic ideals is placed in a historical context, and addressed as a point on a trajectory beginning with Julius Caesar's invasion in 58 BC, in this concise, politically-charged history of Germany, which situates the extremes of the German political experience throughout ancient and recent history in relation to the broader climate.
