What do the Germans think of Hitler-and will they be Nazis again tomorrow? In the minds of many people in Western Europe and in America, Germany seems to be looming up as yesterday's ruthless and arrogant giant returning to the scene of action. Even the best attempts of Western correspondents to tell the " truth about Germany" are so confused as to be almost unintelligible to the ordinary reader-the real Germany of today is, perhaps, lost in a cloud of cliches. Is Germany on her way to being a new world power? What-after eight years of occupation-do Germans think of America, Britain, France? These and many other questions are discussed in The Return of Germany. The author tells the whole story of West Germany and East Germany, the two new countries which have arisen from the ashes of German defeat. Germany is shown as the vital testing ground for the comparative merits of the Western and Eastern ways of life, of the strengths and weaknesses of democratic and totalitarian ideas in action. Norbert Muhlen, a German by birth, has interviewed the leading figures of present-day Germany ; he has also talked to thousands of ordinary Germans in the street, in pubs and in their homes, and his book is at once an authoritative and, perhaps, the most vivid account of the present state of Germany to have appeared since the war. Size: 8vo.
