Soft cover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. First paperback edition, 2020. 9" x 6", x, 331 pages, bibliography. Why has democracy flourished in the Federal Republic of Germany despite that country's troubled past? Exhaustive research in German historical archives illuminates the pivotal role played by the veterans of the Christian trade unions of the Weimar Republic, the only group to participate in both of Germany's most successful political experiments after 1945, a 'Christian Democratic' party to unite Catholics and Protestants, and unified labour unions for workers of all political outlooks.

They took the lead in forging the distinctive 'German Model' for labour relations. Soft covers, fine, virtually as new.…
