Five years after unification, Germany is emerging as Europe's most powerful country. Who are the Germans today? How can we better understand the profound changes taking place in Germany? This volume profiles the German people at this critical juncture in history. It includes interviews with individuals and families from both former East and West Germany and features a rare interview with German Chancellor Helmut Kohl. Includes photographs and text in both German and English.
Jeffrey Gedmin is a research fellow at AEI.
