Victor Sebestyen

Victor Sebestyen has published a new book, 'Weimar Germany,' examined in a review by The New York Times. The work revisits the short-lived German republic of 1919–1933, its cultural experimentation and political instability, and the conditions that led to its collapse. Reviews of new histories of the era tend to attract attention amid ongoing debates about democracy's fragility and echoes of the period in current politics.
