Much of the book was slow-going, wading thru the minutiae of long-gone German political issues. Frankly, I read it because my maternal grandfather's first cousin, Franz Hitze, was prominent in the party from 1980 till he died in 1921. He is mentioned on 11 different pages of the book. But the final chapters, while not inspiring, are momentous. A good book. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

This is the only book to deal with the Catholic clerical influence on the German Center party, a forerunner of Germany s present Christian Democratic Union. In addition to tracing the effect of the Catholic-clerical influence up on the parliamentary functioning of the Center party, Ms. Evans explores the relationship between the Center and other political partiesboth in opposition and in coalitionand the efforts of the party s leaders to satisfy the diverse interest groups it represented.Ms. Evans notes that a combination of circumstances made necessary a separate party for German Catholics: the resentment of Catholics concerning the events of German unification; the increased solidarity and militancy of the church under Pius IX; and the need for defense against the demands for anticlerical legislation made by German liberals.The original small party grew enormously. It changed both its nature and its platform during the years of the "Kulturkampf, "the campaign to weaken the Catholic church conducted by Bismarck and the liberal parties. As a consequence of the conflict, the party developed an ideological base flexible enough to encompass a strong civil rights platform, an opposition to militarism, a concern for social welfare, an affiliation with labor union Organizations, and even a tentative embrace of democracy.At the same time, the continued pursuit of clerical goals, and in particular the goal of maintaining denominational education, made it difficult for the Center to form enduring partnerships with either Liberals or Socialists, in spite of many mutual interests. Nevertheless, the party accomplished many of its goals. Ms. Evans concentrates on some of these: The party s education policy, social policy, church-state relations, and corporativism."
