Pressezitat
'An excellent little book... [Hawes] knows what he's on about and his conclusions are measured, but he favours clear, concise prose over dense academese. He has a sense of humour, and a sharp eye for similarities between then and now.'SPECTATOR
'The Shortest History of Germany, a new, must-read book by the writer James Hawes, [recounts] how the so-called limes separating Roman Germany from non-Roman Germany has remained a formative distinction throughout the post-ancient history of the German people.'
ECONOMIST
'Sweeping and confident... has a frightening urgency'
OBSERVER
'Engaging... I suspect I shall remember it for a lifetime'
