Though Burri's first book was a commercial failure in its time, it has since become a classic of post-war European documentary photography.

The book features 88 black-and-white photographs that provide an objective and poignant portrait of the German people in the post-World War II era. It is noted for its layout and format, which were intended to be a counterpart to Robert Frank's influential 'The Americans'. The publication includes texts selected by Jean Baudrillard and was printed using gravure by Imago, Zurich.
