Using major global political developments as a backdrop, Harald Jähner weaves a series of life stories into a panorama of Germany undergoing monumental change in the decade after World War 2.
What The Reviewers Say
The national psyche is the principal protagonist in Harald Jähner’s subtle, perceptive and beautifully written Aftermath.
... important, exemplary.
... a scholarly masterpiece which is also a good read.
The pointedness...is quintessential Jähner; he does double duty in this fascinating book (translated into English by the gifted Shaun Whiteside), elegantly marshaling a plethora of facts while also using his critical skills to wry effect.
