Blackbourn traces Germany\u2019s evolution from the loosely bound Holy Roman Empire of 1500 to a sprawling colonial power to a twenty-first-century beacon of democracy. Viewed through a global lens, familiar landmarks of German history\u2014the Reformation, the Revolution of 1848, the Nazi regime\u2014are transformed, while others are unearthed and explored, as Blackbourn reveals Germany\u2019s leading role in creating modern universities and its sinister involvement in slave-trade economies. A global history for a global age, <em>Germany in the World<\/em> is a bold and original account that upends the idea that a nation\u2019s history should be written as though it took place entirely within that nation\u2019s borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>David Blackbourn<\/strong> is the Cornelius Vanderbilt Distinguished Chair of History Emeritus at Vanderbilt University.
