It is a well-written historical and ethnographic work on the Germanic tribes outside the Roman Empire. The writer brilliantly describes the Germanic people's lands, laws, and customs. In addition, it tells about individuals, beginning with those living closest to Roman lands and ending on the shores of the Baltic.

"No one is likely to underrate the importance for the rest of Europe--and, indeed, for world history--of the German reaction, beginning in the days of Bismarck, to the crisis of modern industrial capitalism," writes Professor Barraclough, "but the peculiar character of that reaction is only comprehensible in the light of Germany's past. Factors deeply rooted in German history . . . constituted an iron framework, a mold within which were cast all German efforts, from 1870 to 1939, to cope with the problems of modern capitalist society."

This is Emil Ludwig’s 1941 book, “The Germans: Double History of A Nation”. A history of the German people rather than of Germany itself, this fascinating volume offers a unique insight into the spirit and personality of the Germans, and is highly recommended for those with an interest in European history. Contents include: “The Dreams of World Domination, from Charlemange to Gutenberg (800–1500)”, “Struggle for the Creed, from Luther to Kepler (1500–1650)”, “Schism of State and Spirit, from the Great Elector to Goethe (1650–1800)”, “World-Citizens and Nationalists, from Beethoven to Bismarck”, etc. Emil Ludwig (1881–1948) was a German writer famous for his biographies of great historical figures. Many classic books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
