Republican and Fascist Germany: Themes and Variations in the History of Weimar and the Third Reich, 1918-1945: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Republican and Fascist Germany: Themes and Variations in the History of Weimar and the Third Reich, 1918-1945" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This important addition to modern German studies treats the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich as a continuum, exploring its themes through the 1920s and 1930s without artificial breaks. John Hiden looks at key issues in political, social and economic history, and in international relations. He highlights Germanys potentially constructive role in Europe before Hitler; analyses the countrys structural problems; considers the importance of personalities and personal responsibility in the period; and examines the legacy of the Third Reich to postwar Germany. Filled with energy and ideas, the book has an intellectual substance far beyond its relatively modest length.

I have benefited enormously from the work of numerous fine historians of modern Germany and from my discussions with a good many of these. I can only regret that I am unable to acknowledge them all individually. The footnotes are reserved largely for studies to which I make direct reference in the main text. Any specialist in the field will recognize the extent of my indebtedness, but I hasten to add that if errors have nonetheless crept into the book they are all my own work. The Department of European Studies granted me a period of study leave during 1995 to complete the writing. I am very grateful indeed for this. I am also happy to record my thanks to the British Academy for the Small Grant which it gave me at an earlier stage of my work on this volume. It is a particular pleasure to acknowledge the stimulus I have enjoyed from working and teaching with my fellow Germanist and younger colleague at Bradford, Dr Martyn Housden. Finally and as always I am thankful for the indispensable support of my wife and my dear friend, to whom this book is dedicated.

The present volume spans the period between 1918 and 1945, years witnessing among other things the historic peacemaking at Versailles, the rise of fascism, the early stages of co-existence between communist and capitalist societies, the advent to power of Adolf Hitler, the path to the Second World War, the brutal onslaught on the Jewish peoples and the final high drama of Germanys defeat and partition. Momentous enough in themselves, these events have had the most fundamental impact on Europe and have become the object of renewed and mounting public interest since the re-unification of Germany in 1990. There are of course general histories of modern Germany which include coverage of the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich, but they are often understandably short of detail. At the other extreme are studies concentrating either on National Socialist or Weimar Germany. Of the latter, however, many also turn out in fact to be largely concerned with Hitler, his movement and his rise to power. Bookshelves holding volumes on the Nazi state positively groan beneath the weight.
