Summary:

"Jörg Echternkamp paints a picture of a North Sea island that became a central theater of history, in particular of National Socialism, not despite but rather because of its peripheral position. From the imperial period onward, Langeoog developed into a hub for spa guests, dealers, soldiers of the German army, and refugees, which continues to shape the life of its inhabitants today. Langeoog’s biography is a compelling portrait of German society"-- De Gruyter Brill
