Germany Since 1945 (Studies in Contemporary History)

Beginning with the day of Nazi Germany's surrender, this book traces the main political, social and economic developments in occupied Germany, in both German states right up to 1990, and in reunited Germany. A whole chapter is devoted to the unification of the country in 1989-90, while the final chapter is the first comprehensive short survey in English of post-unification Germany, covering the period up to the Iraq crisis in 2003.
