Mary Fulbrook
This audiobook provides a clear and informative guide to the twists and turns of German history from the early Middle Ages to the present day. The multifaceted, problematic history of the German lands has furnished a wide range of debates and differences of interpretation. Mary Fulbrook provides a crisp synthesis of a vast array of historical material and explores the interrelationships between social, political, and cultural factors in the light of scholarly controversies.
First published in 1990, A Concise History of Germany is the only single-volume history of Germany in English that offers broad, general coverage. It has become standard reading for English-speaking students of German, European studies, and history, and it is a useful guide to general learners, members of the business community, and travelers to Germany.

Really dry

The book's strengths lie in the author's command of the subject and indeed of her whole field of historical study. Not only are facts presented in an orderly fashion, but dispassionate interpretations of them (and criticisms of popular misunderstandings) are presented with clarity. As a novice in historical inquiry, I felt like I was watching a clockmaker carefully handle and examine what I had moments before tossed in her direction. The author's close examination of German society under regimes like Nazism or Soviet communism, the comparison of medieval and renaissance developments in Europe, and the topic of the French Revolution were all so elucidating.
After finishing this excellent "concise" history, I hope to continue to learn about the topic. Perhaps my high opinion of this book will mellow as I read other histories of Germany, but I consider this for now to be an excellent introduction.
