Book details
The Weimar Republic presents a much-needed reappraisal of Germany between the wars, examining the political, social and economic aims of the new republic, their failure and how they led to Nazism and eventually World War II. The author includes: an examination of
the legacy of World War I and the Treaty of Versailles, discussion of the early years of crisis culminating in the Ruhr Invasion and the Dawes Settlement, exploration of the circumstances leading to the rise of Hitler, an outline of the historiography of, and the changing attitudes of
historians to, the Weimar Republic.
causality at play in ever major development and in integrating these levels to provide a compelling explanation of the political dynamics of the republic. In the crowded political landscape of the time, Henig has an unerring ability to identify the decisive events, explain why they were
important, and illustrate how they affected later developments.
