Book review: the greenest nation? A new history of German environmentalism by Frank Uekötter

Germany enjoys an enviably green reputation, with environmentalists in other countries applauding its strict environmental laws, its world-class green technology firms, its phase-out of nuclear power, and its influential Green Party. In The Greenest Nation? Frank Uekotter aims to offer an overview of the evolution of German environmentalism since the late nineteenth century. Sebastian Mayr recommends this to first year students seeking an overview of some of the key moments in green German history.
