Umstrittene Helden

The Germans and their heroes constitute a topic whose reception switches between resistance against heroes and loud calls for heroes. Anna Kavvadias unfurls in her book a multilayered spectrum of hero figures, examines their development, and concisely describes efforts at heroization from the founding of Prussia up to German reunification.
