Recenzje

[A] combination of exhaustive archival research, complete mastery of the existing body of secondary scholarship, and writing that is engaging, erudite, and replete with literary references. The result is a singular accomplishment that will rank for years to come among the very best studies of Germany and the transformations of its political culture in the tumultuous period between unification and the end of World War I.
