The force, cogency, and subtlety of Hillgruber's presentation is matched only by his unexampled command of documentary materials...It is authoritative and compelling--a modern historical classic that should gain the highest esteem and widest public. -- Rudolph Binion
Andreas Hillgruber is Professor of History, University of Cologne. William C. Kirby is Spangler Family Professor of Business Administration and T. M. Chang Professor of China Studies at Harvard University, as well as Chair of the Harvard China Fund and Faculty Chair of the Harvard Center Shanghai. His many books include Can China Lead? Reaching the Limits of Power and Growth.
Compelling… An important accomplishment for anyone with an interest
in modern European history.

[A] masterpiece of historical interpretation… While innumerable
works have analyzed the outbreak of both world wars in detail,
these few pages present what most scholars regard as the last word
on the question of German responsibility in each case…[and] shed
considerable light on the entire course of German history. Thus all
readers, whether specialties in the subject or not, can profit
immensely from Hillgruber’s judicious assessment.
