This is the companion volume to the British Museum's much lauded exhibition of the same name and accompanies the acclaimed BBC Radio 4 series in which MacGregor illustrates, as it were, the history of Germany in 30 episodes (still available as downloads*). It is easy to understand why people say that there should be an export ban on MacGregor. His lightly-worn but nevertheless erudite scholarship shines through everything he does. Floreat Neil!
