Sunday Times\n'A fine new book... thoughtful, deeply reported and impeccably even-handed.' The Times\nEmerging from a collection of city states 150 years ago, no other country has had as turbulent a history as Germany or enjoyed so much prosperity in such a short time frame. Today, as much of the world succumbs to authoritarianism and democracy is undermined from its heart, Germany stands as a bulwark for decency and stability.\nMixing personal journey and anecdote with compelling empirical evidence, this is a critical and entertaining exploration of the country many in the West still love to hate. Raising important questions for our post-Brexit landscape, Kampfner asks why, despite its faults, Germany has become a model for others to emulate, while Britain fails to tackle contemporary challenges. Part memoir, part history, part travelogue, Why the Germans Do It Better is a rich and witty portrait of an eternally fascinating country.","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50439103185184,"sku":"9781786499783","price":9.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781786499783.jpg?v=1780928915","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/why-the-germans-do-it-better-john-kampfner-9781786499783","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
