De la contraportada

"This is an important and thought-provoking book, full of insights and critical questions. Its originality will be recognized immediately, and its suggestions for future research will inspire and animate debate. Immensely valuable, it is full of promise for the way we think about the German past over the next decade."--Rudy Koshar, University of Wisconsin, Madison

"This is an extremely important book. The authors move with tremendous authority over two hundred years and use the caesura of 1989 and the experience of the East German dictatorship as well as the racial civil war of the Nazi period to insist on new ways of looking and writing. Their ability to hold the two lines of inquiry together--the disruptions of history and the continually disrupted writing of history--is a masterpiece of conceptual control. Bold and provocative, Shattered Past will stand as a landmark in the field."--Peter Fritzsche, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
