About the book

READ JOHN KAMPFNER'S NEW BOOK:

IN SEARCH OF BERLIN: THE STORY OF A REINVENTED CITY ***THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*** BOOK OF THE YEAR IN GUARDIAN, ECONOMIST & NEW STATESMAN 'Excellent and provocative… a passionate, timely book.'

Sunday Times 'A fine new book… thoughtful, deeply reported and impeccably even-handed.'

The Times

Emerging from a collection of city states 150 years ago, no other country has had as turbulent a history as Germany or enjoyed so much prosperity in such a short time frame. Today, as much of the world succumbs to authoritarianism and democracy is undermined from its heart, Germany stands as a bulwark for decency and stability.

Mixing personal journey and anecdote with compelling empirical evidence, this is a critical and entertaining exploration of the country many in the West still love to hate. Raising important questions for our post-Brexit landscape, Kampfner asks why, despite its faults, Germany has become a model for others to emulate, while Britain fails to tackle contemporary challenges. Part memoir, part history, part travelogue,

Why the Germans Do It Better is a rich and witty portrait of an eternally fascinating country.
