Prisoners of Time: Prussians, Germans and Other Humans by Christopher Clark |
This series of essays covers aspects of Germany, from the serious - the attempts to convert Prussian Jews to Christianity, to the more capricious - a virtuous meditation on the nature of political power down the ages. Each raises questions about how we think about the past and about the pitfalls of history as a discipline. Clark, one of our finest living historians, has produced a work of such entertainment and value that only he could have written.
