Germany, 1914-1933

by Matthew Stibbe

Germany, 1914-1933: Politics, Society and Culture takes a fresh and critical look at a crucial period in German history. Rather than starting with the traditional date of 1918, the book begins with the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, and argues that this was a pivotal turning point in shaping the future successes and failures of the Weimar Republic. Combining traditional political narrative with new insights provided by social and cultural history, the book reconsiders such key questions The book also provides a thorough and comprehensive discussion of the difficulties faced by the Weimar Republic in capturing the hearts and minds of the German people in the 1920s, and of the causes of its final demise in the early 1930s.

3.5/5 being generous and rounding up for Goodreads.

Not much to say. A good textbook that covers all the things you'd expect a textbook to have - politics, economics, culture etc. Short at 200 pages but with the sources being at the end of each chapter it is probably closer to 180 pages. Worth reading if you can find a cheap copy or a libary copy but too expensive online to buy imo.
