Any books on the political history of Germany?

the Arms of Krupp is the only one I can speak of.

It follows the growth of the Krupp steelworks, and its integral importance in Germany's echelons of power abroad and within the nation.

This is probably not the best way to have a discussion but I saved a post from /his/ that makes an offhand comment on Evans Third Reich trilogy.

Here's the relevant part:
>"If a work with zero new scholarship is fine - like Evans trio - then Burleigh's " 'New' history " is much better choice. The tone of Evans books is just fugly, he loses no page trying to tell the reader that 'you should feel bad, Nazis were the epithome of evil and you are to blame'."
Do you think he's right about that?

Personally I don't have a problem with an author telling me the Nazis were evil, but since I'm already ware I don't need him to drone on about it for a thousand pages, especially if what he describes the regime doing would enable me to come to my own conclusions.

A good one to pick up is Iron Kingdom by Christopher Clark. It talks about the history of Prussia but it should be a good start.

Read A History of Modern Germany since 1815. It covers a lot

Not at all, its a great work, and that guy seems "red pilled". The first two books are completely about political rise and social/cultural policy, and do not have value judgments except in the arts section, where evans really hates censorship. The third piece, the third reich at war, definitely excoriates the nazi regime, but he also shifts much of the blame to nationalist militias in ukraine, lithuania, and the balkans, which i have never seen. And while his scholarship may not be new, his mastery of it is obvious.

Not what I got from the post as a whole

Thank you for your answer though, I will go and read the first volume to see if I like his style

Have you by any chance read The Pursuit of Power?
I've been considering reading that as well and if it's good I might kill two birds with one stone

Yes, its very good but not exactly linear, he tackles mining, workers rights, military advances, military campaigns, 1848 in their own sections.

When I say he seems redpilled I mean that he seems to think that being anti-final solution in a work of history in ww2 is not exactly a controversial position. Evans takes a path more like Arendt however, and tries to justify actual numbers and occurrences of killings throughout eastern europe as opposed to the whole 8 MILLION GASSED position of the 90s.

My favorite part of the work was that on literature, which gave huge amounts of popular works of the time and works which the Nazi regime integrated into their cultural policies.
