Wehler, H: Land ohne Unterschichten?

From the lower classes in the Federal Republic, whose existence is all too much disputed, to the fiercely controversial EU accession of Turkey, from nationalism as a radical mobilisation ideology to the long taboo victim experiences of the Germans, the spectrum of these new essays by Hans-Ulrich Wehler ranges. The Bielefeld historian, who has recently triggered a controversy even with the fifth and final volume of his great German social history (bsr 1915: Federal Republic and GDR. Hans-Ulrich Wehlers German Society History in the Debate), demonstrates in this volume once again his special talent to combine the role of the scientist with that of the daily politically engaged publicist.
