Dispatches from the Weimar Republic

Más información sobre el libro

The period immediately following World War I was one of great turbulence in German society. The widespread dislocation throughout the country following its defeat in the war left the German morale crushed; the allied countries' demand for reparations crippled the national economy. Russia was in the hands of the Bolsheviks and there was widespread fear that Germany would be next to fall to working-class revolutionaries.Writing between 1919 and 1923 as special correspondent for the "Manchester Guardian", Price was one of the few British journalists in Weimar Germany during those important years. These writings cover the key events in postwar Germany, including the emergence of Hitler and the Nazi Party.
