| Summary |
This text argues that the Weimar Republic was not doomed from its conception at the Treaty of Versailles and therefore it was a complex set of factors which allowed Hitler to rise to power. This edition features an updated and extended bibliography and revision throughout the text. It is often assumed that the Weimar Republic was bound to fail due to the harsh terms of the Versailles Settlement. Professor Hiden dispels this simplistic view and shows that it was a complex set of factors which finally brought Hitler to power. This clear and balanced study is now fully revised - for the first time since its publication in 1974 - to take account of the latest research |
