New History Revisits Weimar Germany's Fragile Democracy
Original: Book Review: ‘Weimar Germany,’ by Victor Sebestyen
Victor Sebestyen has published 'Weimar Germany', a new history of the short-lived German republic, and The New York Times has reviewed it. The book examines how Germany's first democratic experiment emerged from defeat and revolution after the First World War, and why it ultimately collapsed into Nazi rule. Readers of current affairs books are likely drawn to the parallels commentators often draw between Weimar's political instability and today's democratic anxieties.
Why now: A major outlet's review of a timely history of democratic collapse is drawing attention amid contemporary concerns about democracy's fragility.
