A Good Overall Look at Germany.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I bought this book after a trip to Germany when I wanted to find out more about it. Although outdated, it was written before the 1972 Munich Olympics, it provides a wealth of information on German traditions, customs, and as the title suggests, "German Ways." The chapters are divided into areas such as education, sports, food, drink, etc. The author grew up in a German-American community. The author also spends a good deal of time covering the German influence in the USA. For example, I learned that during the World War sauerkraut suddenly became referred to as "liberty cabbage." The only reason I did not give this book five stars was due to its being outdated. A updated version of this book would be excellent, if the author is out there.
