Hey Bird! I'm Morose & Lugubrious
Anyone know of good history books about the German Kaiserreich? I've got some decent sources in German, but was look for stuff not by natives.
Also I just finished Benedict Anderson's "Imagined Communities", a superb book about the origins and spread of Nationalism, and perplexingly even featured a susbstantial defense of Nationalism v. Racism and Imperialism. Also establishing once more that both non-"Western" focussed historians and Marxist historians are based beyond belief. Reading about 20th century Indonesia and 19th century Siam is absolutely enlightening vis a vis (Post-) Colonialism.
