No other defects noted to this otherwise As New book. Dust jacket has some to edges. This story, history written as a novel, is about the Pappenheimers, a vagrant family whose lives turned into nightmare when they were arrested for crimes unbeknownst to them. It follows the footsteps of these common folk along the path that led them to the stake. For the local authorities, the arrest was unimportant, an everyday event. But when the ducal council in Munich learned of it, they expressed overwhelming interest. It so happened that there was a search underway for suitable defendants for a great show trial --- a trial needed to restore law and order in a chaotic time, to combat highway crime, murders, and heresy throughout the land. This was an age of fear, both real and superstitious-fear of war, of the Antichrist in the East, of the plague, of demonic powers. It was a fear that made wise men fools and good men evil. Suspicion and strife prevailed in much of Western Europe. Those in power argued about words, and every party believed it had a monopoly on the truth. People clung to hope and found ways to dispel their fears. One such way was the use of scapegoats. And for scapegoats, it was an age of fire and the stake. The arrested family was transported to the capital city. Like most of their contemporaries, the Pappenheimers were simple, illiterate people. In Munich, they were subjected to extensive interrogation, often under torture. Their statements, recorded in painstaking detail by an officiating clerk, and preserved in Bavarian archives, make up the principal source for this account of their fate. They protested their innocence, yet the power of torture soon forced more harmful matter from their lips. First hesitantly, then ever more readily, they confessed to hundreds of robberies, murders, and acts of arson. They were just what the authorities had been looking for --- criminals in league with the Devil. But this tragic tale is more than simply a report of a trial. Kunze vividly brings to life the everyday world of the Pappenheimers and their acquaintances --- traveling folk, craftsmen, and peasants. Kunze allows these men and women to speak for themselves: they tell of their thoughts and feelings, what they believed in and what they feared; they tell of their remedies for sickness and poverty; they tell how they played and laughed, suffered and dreamed. This is also a story of those who operated the levers of power, the officials who sat in judgment of the Pappenheimers. Kunze paints flesh-and-blood portraits of this governing class of clerics and doctors of law and of their subordinates, the sheriffs and jailors. In Duke Maximilian, who ordered the inquisition, we see a ruler of the bureaucratic type, innocent yet guilty, one who venerates the modem principle of an all-encompassing totalitarian state. The Pappenheimers' remarkable story provides a window into the world of its time.

Summary:This book describes the twin evolutions of nation and state from the Middle Ages to the present and links them to stages in European cultural history. The author contrasts the development of the state in different parts of Europe and shows how the concept merged with the idea of the nation in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The modern idea of the nation state, he argues, is rooted in the fundamental changes that took place during the industrial, political and cultural evolutions of this period. Alongside the history of the nation the author charts successive stages in the development of nationalism, offering an explanation of why it was that in the decades preceding the twentieth century the concept of the nation began to take hold of the people at large. The identification of nation with state and the definition of its internal and external enemies laid the ground for the extreme developments of the twentieth century. In the final part of the book the author traces the attempts in Western Europe since 1945 to come to terms with nationalism; and examines the implications of the rise of nationalism in Central and Eastern Europe. Peace in Europe is threatened, he suggests, not only by the resurgence of national interests in both East and West but also by the attempts to impose unity on the many unique ways of life that have evolved in the nations of Europe.
