Description

Eric D. Weitz's comprehensive history of Weimar Germany brings to life an era of unparalleled creativity in the 20th century.

This expanded edition reveals how Germans rose from the turmoil and defeat of World War I and revolution to forge democratic institutions and make Berlin a world capital of avant-garde art, while also exploring the period's groundbreaking cultural achievements and the richly detailed portraits of its greatest figures.

Despite its progressive achievements, Weimar Germany ultimately succumbed to political turmoil, leading to the demise of the republic and the rise of radical Right. Yet its influence continued to shape contemporary art, urban design, and intellectual life for decades to come.
