The Shortest History of Germany: From Roman Frontier to the Heart of Europe―A Retelling for Our Times (The Shortest History Series) Review: A GREAT choice for overview of German history. - HIGHLY recommended. I bought this book in preparation for a trip to Germany. I expected to "work through" the history of the country, but I found that I couldn't put this book down! It was an absolute pleasure to read. The tone and pacing were like having a knowledgable companion, someone who loves his topic, chat with you at a party. It was very engaging! The author seemed authoritative, but not at all stuffy, he referenced things to see on Netflix and YouTube. There was painful material, of course; it was presented in a sensitive but straightforward way. The author acknowledges the limitations of a brief history, but after completing the book I am confident that I have a solid overview as well as a feel for the experience of the people over time. Review: Great summary - A little bit hard to read if you're not familiar with the history of Europe but a very entertaining way of telling quite a long story. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #101,397 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #78 in German History (Books) #84 in European Politics Books #127 in Jewish Holocaust History | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (386) | | Dimensions | 5.1 x 0.7 x 7.8 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1615195696 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1615195695 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | The Shortest History | | Print length | 256 pages | | Publication date | March 19, 2019 | | Publisher | The Experiment | ## Images ![- The Shortest History of Germany: From Roman Frontier to the Heart of Europe―A Retelling for Our Times (The Shortest History Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71j6j27vIzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A GREAT choice for overview of German history. *by B***C on November 15, 2021* HIGHLY recommended.

Reading this book was and eye-opener and was so fun because of how much I was learning, and it was pretty simple to follow along with, and for me that's huge considering I'm a kinesthetic learner and I don't typically enjoy reading. I learned so much and even forced some of my close friends and family to listen to me tell them what I learned! ## Frequently Bought Together - The Shortest History of Germany: From Roman Frontier to the Heart of Europe―A Retelling for Our Times (The Shortest History Series) - The Shortest History of England: Empire and Division from the Anglo-Saxons to Brexit―A Retelling for Our Times (The Shortest History Series) - The Shortest History of Europe: How Conquest, Culture, and Religion Forged a Continent―A Retelling for Our Times (The Shortest History Series) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/148130622-the-shortest-history-of-germany-from-roman-frontier-to-heart](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/148130622-the-shortest-history-of-germany-from-roman-frontier-to-heart) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
