The course of recent German history has been volatile. Events in Eastern Europe, the collapse of European Communism and German Re-Unification has brought issues of Germany's status into the arena of world politics. The Question of German Unification presents an introduction to the last two hundred years of German history and addresses questions raised by the status of Germany as a single or split national state. Imanuel Geiss: * argues that Germany has fluctuated all too frequently, and catastrophically, between being the power centre of Europe or a power vacuum * describes the special features of German history and looks at Germany within a European framework * analyses the political, economic and social aspects of German Nationalism as well as the impact of the collapse of Communism on Germany, through detailing long-term structures and processes * includes discussion of recent political events as well as a chronology and further reading. Imanuel Geiss reflects on the irrationalities of German history, surveys how they have been explained by historians, and provides a succinct and readable account of the complex issues involved.

Nach Ansicht Adenauers haben die meisten, speziell die (west)deutschen, Historiker in der Einschätzung der Zukunftsaussichten der Sowjetunion versagt und die Unausweichlichkeit von deren Zusammenbruch (der 1989/91 dann ja auch eintrat) verkannt. Nur wenige Historiker machten in dieser Hinsicht eine Ausnahme - und wurden nicht ernstgenommen. Daher erscheint eine nachträgliche Wieder- bzw. Erstveröffentlichung einschlägiger Beiträge sinnvoll. Ohne Anspruch auf grundsätzliche Bewältigung aller schwierigen theoretischen Fragen, die Zukunft als Geschichte aufwirft, beschränkten sich die Vorbemerkungen auf einige Aspekte, die fuer eigene Prognosen als Teil historischer Arbeiten nuetzlich bis unerläálich erschienen. äDiese rueckblickenden Erläuterungen und eine damit eng verbundene Lesart des Buches als eine Geschichte der eigenen Geschichtsschreibung machen den Reiz des Werkes aus. Der Band gewährt Einblicke in die innere Entwicklung, das historische Lernen des Autors selbst.ô Zeitschrift fuer Politikwissenschaft.
