After the Nazis

“[An] excellent new book. . . . After the Nazis seeks to explore not only the details of West German culture, but also its importance to the nation in the first place.”—Ben Hutchinson, Times Literary Supplement

“Kater’s book provides excellent political and economic context, decade by decade, alongside personal vignettes and reflections (he grew up in West Germany in the 1950s) that offer insight.”—Evan M. Anderson, Library Journal

“There are other books on postwar Germany of real quality, yet Kater has managed the most comprehensive on the question of just how Germany became, well, vaguely normal. He accords considerable credit to artists, authors, and filmmakers for providing regular pressure to ensure that this remains the case.”—Anthony Paletta, Washington Examiner

“An eminent scholar who’s devoted his career to illuminating a savage ideology. . . . Kater leaves no stone unturned. . . . He girds his arguments with rich detail, seeking moral purpose in the Germany of today while telling a compelling story.”—Hamilton Cain, On the Seawall
