It deals with the period of nationalism and imperialism, from the abortive attempt of popular forces to found a liberal national state and Bismarck's German unification through the Prussian military monarchy to the expansionist programs of the age of William II and Hitler's world conquest.Holborn, Hajo is the author of 'History of Modern Germany 1840-1945' with ISBN 9780691007977 and ISBN 0691007977.
