This book is an ambitious re-assessment of how Wilhelmine Germans conceived of themselves and the German ... Read more

Besieged from the outset by hostile forces, the young republic was threatened by revolution from the left and coups d'états from the right. Plagued early on by a wave of high-profile ... Read more
