James Retallack, Professor of History at the University of Toronto, is his generation's foremost and most prolific historian of Germany's imperial era (1871-1918). With his writings on the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century German Right, no one has done more to illuminate how German conservatives confronted broad-gauged social and political change before Hitler's rise to power. After the fall of the Berlin Wall he pioneered research on Saxony, which cemented his pre-eminent position among scholars of Germany's regional history. Further, his German History in Documents and Images collection is recognised as an exceptionally original online resource with a global reach.
