Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisWritten in 1939 and unpublished until 2000, Sebastian Haffner's memoir of the rise of Nazism in Germany offers a unique portrait of the lives of ordinary German citizens between the wars. Covering 1907 to 1933, his eyewitness account provides a portrait of a country in constant flux: from the rise of the First Corps, the right-wing voluntary military force set up in 1918 to suppress Communism and precursor to the Nazi storm troopers, to the Hitler Youth movement; from the apocalyptic year of 1923 when inflation crippled the country to Hitler's rise to power. This fascinating personal history elucidates how the average German grappled with a rapidly changing society, while chronicling day-to-day changes in attitudes, beliefs, politics, and prejudices.

Because Everyone Should Understand How it Happened
After reading Haffner's book, I finally am able to answer the question so many of us ask, "How did the Germans let that happen?" I thought I knew German history, but apparently there's a lot I didn't know. This is an honest portrait of the life of a German man who lived in 1920-1930's Germany. It depicts how historical events unfolded in Germany among the average German. It is a warning to all people that we have to be careful not to not ever follow the same path, no matter which players are in charge. It's about the balance between making the correct moral choices as an individual while striving to find peace with your fellow countrymen.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
