The German Century

Más información sobre el libro

The German Century is a magnificent and compelling photographic chronicle of this country at the heart of Europe. More than 300 images, many of them previously unpublished, are complimented by Michael Sturmer's penetrating text. Gathered from national and state archives, newspapers and private collections, this visual survey includes the work of talented photographers, like the Nazi era photojournalist Max Ehlert, whose work had largely been forgotten.From imperial ambition to democratic high hopes, from violence and destruction to political division and rebirth, Germany's story has been an integral part of the dramatic events of the 20th century.
