Critics Review
‘Part autobiography, part history primer and part Fleet Street gossip column, Millar cast aside the old chestnuts and set about reporting on the reality of life’ The Sunday Times
[This] engrossing portrait of German culture covers everything from sex and money to food and drink. – Martin Chilton * Independent *From the first page of his new book, you know that Peter Millar knows his territory well, and has found real tales to tell. This is “not a traditional linear history” of Germany, but “a personal frontline” tour, organised by place and topic, and held together by anecdote and lived experience. – James Hawes * The Times *
