商品簡介
Beginning in 1830 and ending with the official dissolution of Prussia by the Allies in 1947, this work sets out to correct misconceptions about the development of Prussia and its role in German history. While traditional political concerns are not neglected, the book's broad approach encompasses discussion of conservatives and the monarchy, industrialization, the transformation of the rural and urban environment, tensions between Catholics and Protestants, the labor movement, and the debate about links between Prussian militarism and the final tragedy of Nazi Germany. Dwyer teaches history at the University of Newcastle, Australia. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
