Synopsis
The geography of Germany and the way it has been governed have changed many times since the 1800s. This book explores Otto von Bismarck's role in the formation of the modern German state, the partition of Germany following World War II, and the events surrounding the decline of European communism, including the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the reunification of East and West Germany in 1990. With photographs, maps, sidebars, and fast facts, readers will evaluate the country's numerous border changes and the massive impact they have had on the people who live there.

Reviews
Gr 9 Up-Starting with burning contemporary and recent conflicts, this series brings vast fields of history within a clear lens of understanding. Earlier chapters in each book trace the histories of the included cultures and set more recent events in the context of longer historical movements. However, authors occasionally try to take on too much-for example, lurching from the settlement of the Indus Valley 60,000 years ago to English colonial rule, all in the space of a few pages. Side articles provide important context, noting the sheer cultural and spatial vastness of the Soviet Union (182 ethnic groups and 149 languages in 1923) or profiling David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime minister. Photos of the Irish civil war and the partition of India and Pakistan are especially poignant. Each title includes links to online videos as well as a lengthy bibliography. VERDICT Thoughtfully organized and well researched, all volumes are highly recommended.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
