The scholarly and political world owes gratitude and admiration to Kurt Tauber for this monumental and deeply disturbing study on German nationalism after World War II. Words like "epochal" and "definitive," "monumental" or "classic" ought to be employed sparingly and grudgingly. Yet this work by Professor Tauber merits these descriptions. The author, by dint of immense effort and application for a decade and more, has provided the English-speaking world with a comprehensive, fluid and convincing treatise on a challenging subject. The reader remains impressed constantly by the well-substantiated and well-directed methodology employed in the eighteen chapters. Meticulous professional craftsmanship is evident throughout the vast range of subject matter which the volumes portray. Their descriptive spectrum encompasses a truly staggering array of significant intelligence on post-1945 nationalism (principally of the anti-democratic, anti-parliamentarian variety) in the Federal Republic of Germany.
