'In this book James Retallack brings together two decades of reading, reflection, and research on the German right. No historian has done more to illuminate the painful choices that German conservatives confronted as they struggled to survive the challenges of democracy and social change. The German Right contains some of his ground breaking research on Prussia and Saxony, as well as his critical reflections on changing trends in historiography. A book to be read and pondered by every serious student of the German Kaiserreich. '-James J. Sheehan, Dickason Professor in the Humanities and Professor of History, Stanford University
