About the Authors

This third edition of Mary Fulbrook's much-admired and popular introduction to German history provides a clear and informative guide to the twists and turns of the story of the German lands and peoples from the early middle ages to the present day.

Since the second edition in 2004, there have been important changes in Germany, Europe and the wider world.

Reviews & endorsements
‘Clear, concise, and authoritative - still by far the best short introduction to German history available.' Neil Gregor, University of Southampton
‘Mary Fulbrook guides the reader through the complexities of German history with energy and aplomb. Her newly updated Concise History of Germany is authoritative, thought-provoking and lively, illuminating key debates and conveying the larger sweep of political, social, economic and cultural developments over a long time span alongside sharply drawn key episodes. It is the ideal introduction to German history, right up to the present day.' Elizabeth Harvey, University of Nottingham
