An Excellent Introduction to German History

For those who teach German History and need a book to assign to students, Carr is still the best introduction. While not as sophisticated as some of the more recent offerings, with its emphasis on political history, it has the advantage of preserving a strong narrative line. Thus it re-inforces lectures and provides the necessary chronological background for other readings drawn from cultural and social history. It should go back into print!
