Focusing on the evolution of German nationalism, the book examines the transition from the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire to Bismarck's restructuring of the German-speaking territories. Nipperdey delves into the complexities of this period, highlighting the interplay between nationalism and the decline of German liberalism. By presenting the historical narrative as a series of contingent events rather than a predetermined disaster, he offers a fresh perspective on the political and cultural dynamics that shaped the future of the German state.
