This is Emil Ludwig’s 1941 book, “The Germans: Double History of A Nation”. A history of the German people rather than of Germany itself, this fascinating volume offers a unique insight into the spirit and personality of the Germans, and is highly recommended for those with an interest in European history. Contents include: “The Dreams of World Domination, from Charlemange to Gutenberg (800–1500)”, “Struggle for the Creed, from Luther to Kepler (1500–1650)”, “Schism of State and Spirit, from the Great Elector to Goethe (1650–1800)”, “World-Citizens and Nationalists, from Beethoven to Bismarck”, etc. Emil Ludwig (1881–1948) was a German writer famous for his biographies of great historical figures. Many classic books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

During the division of Germany, law became the object of ideological conflicts and the means by which the two national governments conducted their battle over political legitimacy. Legal Entanglements explores how these dynamics produced competing concepts of statehood and sovereignty, all centered on citizens and their rights. Drawing on wide-ranging archival sources, including recently declassified documents, Sebastian Gehrig traces how politicians, diplomats, judges, lawyers, activists and intellectuals navigated the struggle between legal ideologies under the pressures of the Cold War and decolonization. As he shows, in their response to global debates over international law and human rights, their work kept the legal cultures of both German states entangled until 1989.
