Excellent book that reminds a lot of facts about the history of Germany, often ignored or never learned, the Franco-German relationship - the author recalls that France has done much harm to Germany, before the wars . You learn a lot about German society, it is sometimes surprising differences between geographically so close countries - for example 3K governing (governing) the place of women ches our neighbors: Kirchen Kindern, Kuchen. The economic and political history is also well described.
The book reads very easily without falling into simplicity. You learn so surprising facts you might want to read it once.
