Emerging from a collection of city states 150 years ago, no other country has had as turbulent a history as Germany or enjoyed so much prosperity in such a short time frame. Today, as much of the world succumbs to authoritarianism and with democracy in retreat, Germany stands as a bulwark for decency and stability. Mixing personal journey and anecdote with compelling evidence, this is a critical and entertaining exploration of the country many in the West still love to hate.
Raising important questions in an increasingly unstable world, Kampfner asks why, despite its faults, Germany has become a model for others to emulate, while Britain and others fail to tackle contemporary challenges.
