Why the Germans Do it Better: Notes from a Grown-Up Country
Published by: Atlantic Books
Journalist John Kampfner offers an illuminating and gripping personal take on Germany since the first world war.

Described by one reader as “a love letter to Angela Merkel,” this is an engagingly pacey and reflective analysis that highlights where Germany excels – and where others might take heed – while also recognising areas where the country falls short of its own high ideals.”
