"A work of great erudition, packed with detail and of wide range, dealing with all aspects of government and social life....Readers will welcome such judicious and well-informed guidance through the storm center of recent world politics. Professor Craig is deeply versed in German literature as well as history, and he writes clearly and well. It is salutary for historians to realize that they too are at the mercy of events, even when--like Professor
Craig--they command them."--H.R. Trevor-Roper, The New York Times Book Review
