Book Review

Preußen und die USA, 1850 bis 1867: Transatlantische Wechselwirkungen (Prussia and the usa, 1850 to 1867: Transatlantic interactions). By Enno Eimers. (Berlin: Duncker & Humblot, 2004. 678 pp. Paper, €86.00, ISBN 3-428-11577-5.) In German.

Enno Eimers's book is part of a larger project on Prussian-American relations from 1775 to 1867 that aims to close an important gap in our understanding of German-American relations in the nineteenth century. While we know much about the relations between the port city of Bremen and the United States, the field of Prussian-American relations has failed so far to attract the interest of German scholars. Eimers's goal was to provide a comprehensive study of Prussian-American relations during the peak of their diplomatic contacts. His extensive and very detailed study is divided into four chronological parts in which the author discussed political, diplomatic, economic, military, and constitutional aspects of Prussian and American interaction. Although written as a study in diplomatic history, the author delved into a broad range of extremely interesting issues (for example, he compared the German and American unification projects and examined the service of German and German American soldiers in the Northern army during the U.S. Civil War).
