 stock image, actual book may vary "Coping with Germany" is a source of information for the tourist, the business traveller and the short term visitor, on travel, accommodation, food, drink, shopping, money, social and business etiquette and possible problems of communication - beware the Japanese car manufacturers test-driving their products at Nurburgring speeds on the motorways, watch your hotel phone bill carefully and don't eat all your "Knodel" all at once. The book sets the practical advice against a background of German history, economic development and certain key social matters - all filtered through the author's long experience of living in the country as he probes behind the beer-and-sausage facade to reveal the secrets of German orderliness and drive for achievement. In short, it is not just written as a guide book, but a companion to help the visitor cope with Germany.

 stock image, actual book may vary An American journalist who has spent four decades in Germany, Bailey splices autobiography, cultural and political commentary, and reportage in a sprawling narrative laced with highly personal or unsubstantiated judgments. The Germans' love of nature and matter-of-fact approach to sex are the legacy of their forest-dwelling ancestry,'' we are told. The author, who married a Jewish Austrian, claims that it was not the Austrians who took Hitler seriously.'' He describes the Nuremberg trials as Kafkaesque'' and vengeful, and argues that Hitler did not invent the fuhrer principle; he merely filled the bill.'' First published in 1972 and out of print since 1986, this edition has a new closing chapter which includes an interview with Solzhenitsyn and an account of the author's 1990 trip to East Germany, a sickening shock'' exposing him to pollution and grinding poverty. Bailey shines when discussing the Germans' cult of Shakespeare, their penchant for scatological profanity and passion for make-believe and art.

 stock image, actual book may vary Based on previously classified documents and on interviews with former secret police officers and ordinary citizens, The Firm is the first comprehensive history of East Germany's secret police, the Stasi, at the grassroots level. Focusing on Gransee and Perleberg, two East German districts located north of Berlin, Gary Bruce reveals how the Stasi monitored small-town East Germany. He paints an eminently human portrait of those involved with this repressive arm of the government, featuring interviews with former officers that uncover a wide array of personalities, from devoted ideologues to reluctant opportunists, most of whom talked frankly about East Germany's obsession with surveillance. Their paths after the collapse of Communism are gripping stories of resurrection and despair, of renewal and demise, of remorse and continued adherence to the movement. The book also sheds much light on the role of the informant, the Stasi's most important tool in these out-of-the-way areas. Providing on-the-ground empirical evidence of how the Stasi operated on a day-to-day basis with ordinary people, this remarkable volume offers an unparalleled picture of life in a totalitarian state.
