Description
The Death of Democracy by Benjamin Carter Hett is a panoramic survey of one of the most important periods in modern history. In the 1930s, Germany was at a turning point, with the Nazi phenomenon emerging as a response to widespread resentment towards cosmopolitan liberal democracy and capitalism. Based on award-winning research and recently discovered archival material, this book brings these events close to us. The author's careful prose and scholarship shed new light on the events of the time, and the book offers a thoughtful reflection on how our time more resembles the Thirties than the Noughties. With the injection of fresh contemporary voices, The Death of Democracy is a timely and thought-provoking read. With its resounding message for the world today, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in modern history and the ongoing relevance of the events of the 1930s.
