For the platform sehepunkte, I wrote a short review of Heinrich August Winkler’s “Die Deutschen und die Revolution. Eine Geschichte von 1848 bis 1989”.

The book takes a fresh look at the highly controversial, but still quite common notion that the Germans are a “people without a revolution”, a view which has been at the centre of debates about the specific nature of German history ever since the controversies over the so-called “Sonderweg thesis”.

The book comes highly recommended to all who want to delve into this topic under the able guidance of one of the most respected experts on German history there is.

The full review is available here.
