Heinrich August Winkler

Heinrich August Winkler is the author of two of the most successful history books in the last ten years. These were ‘The Long Route to the West’ (‘Der lange Weg nach Westen’) and ‘The History of the West’ (‘Geschichte des Westens’). He has long been known to the wider public for his compelling explanations of historical connections. This Berlin historian, very much the public-facing intellectual, is always ready to engage with controversy, throwing himself into political debate about the nation’s home and foreign policy, even having a practical impact on the course of history. This publication gathers together a collection of his most significant political interventions of the last ten years or so.

Whether it’s about German unity or Berlin as the capital, dealing with Germany’s past or its party political system, European unity or the German tendency to superiority, the relationship with France or the way Putin’s Russia is viewed – Heinrich Winkler never holds back when it comes to his own views! Through his brilliant writing, objective, analytical and astute, he has become one of the most influential ‘public intellectuals’ in Germany. This compelling book demonstrates why. Other topics covered include Germany’s Social Democratic Party, nation and nationalism, the War in Iraq, populism on the left and the right, Macron’s France, Putin and Hitler, to name but a few.
