A review by silkesf
The Shortest History of Germany by James Hawes

1.0

As so many pointed out already, this is not a history book, but the authors pushes his opinion onto the reader. It’s an absolutely flawed thesis. The reader isn’t even allowed to form their own conclusion or opinions, but actually misses crucial information that would allow us to do so. The author left things out that were likely not convenient to his narrative, or phrased things in a way that “fits the bill”. There are hardly any source notes, other than random sound bites that fit into the story.
