In the Ruins of the Reich in Bloomington, MN

A classic account of Germany after her fall to the Allies in May 1945. Concentrates on the period between the collapse of the Reich and the foundation of the new Germanys, an unusual and little-charted time in history. Botting shows that the plan to bring democracy to Germany was far from straightforward.
