Inspired by his own experience of both countries, Philip Oltermann looks at eight historical encounters between English and German people from the last two hundred years: Helmut Kohl tries to explain German cuisine to the Iron Lady, the Mini plays catch-up with the Volkswagen Beetle, and Joe Strummer has an unlikely brush with the Baader-Meinhof gang.
Keeping Up with the Germans is a witty look at the lighter-side of Anglo-German relations over the last 100 years. Country/Region of Manufacture: GB Genre: Society & Culture Topic: History Release Year: 2013 Missing Information?
