Founding Weimar: Violence and the German Revolution of 1918–1919 de Mark Jones

Founding Weimar: Violence and the German Revolution of 1918–1919

Autor Mark Jones
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 noi 2018
The German Revolution of 1918–1919 was a transformative moment in modern European history. It was both the end of the German Empire and the First World War, as well as the birth of the Weimar Republic, the short-lived democracy that preceded the establishment of the Nazi dictatorship. A time of great political drama, the Revolution saw unprecedented levels of mass mobilisation and political violence, including the 'Spartacist Uprising' of January 1919, the murders of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg, and the violent suppression of strikes and the Munich Councils' Republic. Drawing upon the historiography of the French Revolution, Founding Weimar is the first study to place crowds and the politics of the streets at the heart of the Revolution's history. Carefully argued and meticulously researched, it will appeal to anyone with an interest in the relationship between violence, revolution, and state formation, as well as in the history of modern Germany.

Recenzii

'A book that revolutionizes our understanding of the German Revolution of 1918-19 and the long term history and long term origins of Nazism. A major achievement.' Richard Evans, University of Cambridge
'Based on meticulous archival research and written by one of the most promising young historians of modern Germany, Founding Weimar is an important scholarly corrective to our understanding of the difficult birth of German democracy after the First World War. Its emphasis on violence and rumours challenges the traditional high-politics focus and opens up new questions about German history in the fateful first half of the twentieth century.' Robert Gerwarth, University College Dublin
'A remarkable new account of the German Revolution of 1918–1919 … Jones manages to mix military and political history together with social and cultural history in a book that merits a wide readership.' Peter C. Caldwell, Central European History
'A major contribution to historiography … there are reasons to believe that it will be regarded as a turning point in the way in which historians explain post First World War revolutionary processes and political violence on the European continent … Original and well written, Founding Weimar is an innovative, intriguing, and persuasive analysis of violence during the German revolution of 1918–19. Mark Jones must be congratulated on his new and provocative contribution to the topic.' Ángel Alcalde, Reviews in History
