Beginning with Bismarck's forging of a nation with "iron and blood," Gatzke tells of Germany's relentless struggle for domination in Europe and in the West, its defeat in two world wars, its division, East Germany's travail, and West Germany's search for identity as a modern democratic state.
A discerning statement about Germany and other nations, this book reevaluates for the general reader and the historian the impact of rapid industrialization, the origins of the world wars, the question of war guilt, the decade of Weimar democracy, and the rise and fall of Hitler. Gatzke looks anew at the economic miracle in West Germany and the consequences of making prosperity the cornerstone of a new republic.
It is to the realities of these German characteristics as an evolving nation-state that Gatzke relates American foreign policy and perceptions. He recounts the American fluctuations, from favorable to hostile to friendly, as Germany's policiesand fortunes changed, and he places the division of Germany in historical perspective.

The study by Zelikow and Rice is a remarkable achievement. Both authors served on the National Security Council under President Bush and were active in shaping American policy in 1989 and 1990. They had unlimited access to all relevant State Department and White House documents. They also used, albeit to a far lesser extent, former East German and Soviet archival material while conducting numerous interviews with a variety of leading participants. As a result, the motives of non-American actors cannot be reconstructed with quite the same certainty as those of the Bush administration. Despite this qualification, Zelikow's and Rice's study is far superior to all previous work on the diplomacy of German reunification. Thanks to their early access to the documents, they are some twenty-five years ahead of the normal timetable for diplomatic histories, and their story is well-written and compelling throughout.
