Germans : The Biography of an Obsession. Best Book on "Germans". Published by Thriftbooks. com User, 16 years ago. Growing up as an "Auslandsdeutscher" (German raised in foreign countries) I early on came to understand that NOBODY understands the "Germans," not foreigners with their tical biases (even if they are positively inclined), much less the Germans themselves with their "unbewaeltigte Vergangenheit" (unprocessed past). So, it was amazing to find that the person who got closest to the German.

Jacqui Rossi talks about George Orwell's life in Burma, England, and Scotland. Did You Know? According to one biography, Orwell's first word as a child was "beastly. Did You Know? Orwell fought in the Spanish Civil War and was badly injured. He and his wife were later indicted of treason in Spain. Did You Know? Orwell was once a BBC producer and ended up loathing his job as he felt he was being used as a propaganda machine. In our age there is no such thing as 'keeping out of politics

While this book was written over twenty-five years ago and by a British author, I still found the use of the term "homosexual" off-putting. Coleman used it to excess, and as it was also far too clinical a term, only served to distance Epstein from the author and even the reader whenever his private life was discussed. He was thus a control freak, taking an obsessive sense of ownership over all but in particular three of his star acts: the Beatles, Gerry and the Pacemakers, and Cilla Black: "The dichotomy of Epstein's make-up produced a man at once avuncular and warm yet cool, distant, imperious.

A funny, slightly irreverent look at the Germans from one who knows and loves them.

I just re-read this book for the first time since I was living in Berlin, Germany (S.O. 36) through most of the 80's. (My copy of this book is a dog-eared Avon paperback, fallen to pieces and carefully saved by means of rubber bands.) Like the book's author, I am multi-lingual (German, Dutch, French, with some Spanish, Wolof and Eve). So, his attempt to get more understanding of Germans from the German language itself makes all the sense in the world to me. I also appreciate his notion of what he calls the "polyhistor." This is the only book in which I've seen this term. I recommend the book highly, but it is not easy reading (pleasurable, yes, but not easy). I doubt that I could get any of my engineering friends (I am also an engineer) to read it, because they wouldn't get the jokes. You almost have to have lived in Germany, as he did and I did, for it to make any sense.
I wish this book were back in print, just as I wish Charles Beard's books were available. It repays the effort of reading it, something that can't be said of many books these days.
