About This Book

The author offers an American observer's survey of Germany's past and present, tracing political development from Prussia's ascent through figures such as Frederick the Great to Bismarck, and assessing the influence of revolutions, military tradition, and state power. Chapters combine historical sketching with contemporary reportage on Berlin, political parties, the press, universities, gender roles, and social problems, and consider German immigration to the United States and the contributions of German Americans. Throughout, the narrative analyzes tensions between state authority, nationalism, and modern social change while weighing cultural habits, institutions, and public opinion that shaped German political life in the early twentieth century.
