Colonial Dilemma: Critical Perspectives on Contemporary Puerto Rico
Tipton is an economic historian, and his history of Germany demonstrates his skill in using economic history to tell the story of Germany. While on the surface, this seems to be the formula for a dull narrative, the economic data is supplemented by political and cultural data to enliven the narrative. Describing the other material as data is deliberate, as the author analyzes those facts the same way he analyzes the economic facts. This grants his history a greater perception of objectivity, which becomes especially important in dealing with the rise of Nazism and the Holocaust. This is not an ideal history for those who are looking for either a detailed history of the nearly two centuries covered by the book, or for those who are seeking an elementary examination of German's history. However, for those who are looking for a high level overview of the period with a broad examination of the variety of factors that influenced the outcome of events, this is a great resource.
