Notes of a grandchild
Joachim von Ribbentrop was Adolf Hitler’s foreign policy advisor and was sentenced to death in the Nuremberg trials against the major war criminals in October 1946. The social decline at the end of Wei- mar and the unleashing of the Second World War seem far away and part of the past. But they are not. Exactly the same dynamics are present and power- ful again today. Almost 80 years later, the grandson Dominik von Ribbentrop travels through German and European history and psyche to analyse the patterns behind the processes and to point out constants. His book is an important contribution to ensuring that the Germans do not crash and burn again the country, which today is once more filled with ideolo- gy rather than pragmatism.
