new perspectives on modern Germany

Rewriting German History offers striking new insights into key debates about the recent German past. Bringing together cutting-edge research and current discussions, this volume examines developments in the writing of the German past since the Second World War and suggests new directions for scholarship in the twenty-first century. Subjects covered include the peculiarities of Nazi Germany, the comparison between Hitler and Mussolini, eugenics and racial theory, genocide and defeat, memory and heroism, prostitution and women's rights, the Anglo-German relationship and the politics of culture in modern Germany.--, Provided by publisher
