REVISED EDITION 'Magisterial, terrifyingly relevant and yet also a celebration of Weimar's delicious decadence' - Simon Sebag Montefiore A DAILY MAIL BOOK OF THE WEEK A SPECTATOR BOOK OF THE YEAR A DAILY TELEGRAPH BEST HISTORY BOOK OF 2023 ASPECTS OF HISTORY BOOKS OF THE YEAR A GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023 A DAILY MAIL BEST CHRISTMAS BOOK OF 2023 'Astonishing. A masterful account of the Weimar Republic that is the best I have ever read' - Peter Frankopan 'Yet again McDonough shows why he is one of the best chronicles of 20th century Germany' - Dan Snow Now includes an illuminating new introduction placing the history of the Weimar republic in the context of modern threats to global democracy, and highlighting how the end of the Weimar years can be a warning to us all. The prequel to Frank McDonough's bestselling Hitler Years series, covering the dramatic era of German history that culminated in the rise to power of Adolf Hitler in 1933. Established in the wake of German defeat in the First World War, the Weimar Republic held out the hope that democracy, stability and prosperity would take root in Germany. From the start, however, it was beset by political and economic upheaval and spasms of violence between left and right. Year by year, from 1918 to 1933, Frank McDonough describes the major events in both domestic and foreign policy and the personalities who shaped them, together with developments in Weimar's flourishing cultural sphere. McDonough places particular focus on the parliamentary history of Weimar, arguing that it was the failure of parliamentary democracy to bring stability that allowed the power of the elected Reichstag to diminish, leading to Hitler's accession to power. The Weimar Years is the tragic story of a rise and fall, as well as a warning of how, under poor leadership, economic pressure and unrelenting political instability, a democracy can drift towards a form of authoritarian rule that eventually destroys it.
