Review: An inviting Consolidation of German history - German history is, I think, hard to grasp for many, primarily since for much of it’s history the German countries, or the German people, have lacked the same political cohesiveness present in other European domains, such as England, France and Spain. This book not only explains how and why Germany, the distinct cultural and political entity, came into being, but also how that journey shaped the culture and character of the German people. Whether you’re a German-American curious about the saga of your ancestors, a student of history interested in the story of one of the worlds more prominent countries or simply a fan of Deutsch Kultur, this book is an interesting and informative read.
Review: Recommended reading! - I found this history of Germany to be very interesting in so many ways. Ozment traces the roots of Germany back to earliest times, up through Charlemagne and the Holy Roman Empire, through the Reformation and up to the Third Reich. But this is not about the Nazis, although they are briefly mentioned, but more the Germanic people and their secular and religious rulers over the Millenia. Especially interesting to me was the inheritance laws of the Germanic nations versus the Franks (French) allowing great concentration of Estates in French up the chain of feudal rule to the King himself, while the plethora of Germanic States remained small and relatively powerless. Only Bismark solved this problem but it left the modern German post 1870 perhaps with a sense of inferiority vis-a-vis French relations. But I digress, if you have any interest at all in understanding how modern Europe came to be, or Germany in particular, then I highly recommend it to you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting read with a few typos.
*by K***D on April 15, 2021*

This is a good, quick history on the German people and area that moves nicely. There are a few too many typos, but still worth reading.
