The definitive history of Weimar politics, culture, and societyA New York Times Book Review Editor's ChoiceA Financial Times Best Book of the YearThoroughly up-to-date, skillfully written, and strikingly illustrated, Weimar Germany brings to life an era of unmatched creativity in the twentieth century-one whose influence and inspiration still resonate today.
Eric Weitz has written the authoritative history that this fascinating and complex period deserves, and he illuminates the uniquely progressive achievements and even greater promise of the Weimar Republic.
Weitz reveals how Germans rose from the turbulence and defeat of World War I and revolution to forge democratic institutions and make Berlin a world capital of avant-garde art.
He explores the period's groundbreaking cultural creativity, from architecture and theater, to the new field of "sexology"-and presents richly detailed portraits of some of the Weimar's greatest figures.
