I can't recommend a book but would suggest looking at wikipedia. This site gives you an overview and many links to more detailed web pages in Wiki as well as external links:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Germany
Following the external links you might find recommended books focussing on the period of time you're especially interested.
