They discuss the existence of a distinctly German presence in the world centuries before its unification. They also chat about Germany’s leading role in creating modern universities and its sinister involvement in slave-trade economies, as well as how Germany has maintained its pivotal place for the world, even after its tragic and criminal Twentieth Century.Get the book here: https://wwnorton.com/books/9781631491832Show Notes:The Guardian: Neal Ascherson – “Germany in the World by David Blackbourn review – a rich and full-throated account of the past 500 years”https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/jul/02/germany-in-the-world-by-david-blackbourn-review-a-rich-and-full-throated-account-of-the-past-500-yearsLiterary Review: Iain Bamforth – “From Brandenburg to Brazil”https://literaryreview.co.uk/from-brandenburg-to-brazilLondon Review of Books: Richard J.
