Review # 1 was written on 2012-01-05 00:00:00 Jason Mann A useful summary, although very focused on the nineteenth century. Alter looks at the German Question from the perspective of the other European powers, arguing that for them a weak and divided Germany was always preferable. Bismarck seized on a number of coinciding factors to make his move in 1871 (Altough where is the Crimenan War in this?), such as British-Russian rivalry in Asia. The reunification of Germany comes off as a miraculous event, perhaps the consequence of a study which focuses only on IR and ignores the sound of the streets.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-09-02 00:00:00 Aaron Gerace The essays are based on the argument of when does the Final Solution start. The use of young researchers and at the time newly opened archives gives a fresh look at the age old questions of who planned it, ordered it and carried it out.
