[William Smaldone]Confronting Hitler : German Social Democrats in Defense of the Weimar Republic, 1929-1933(pdf){Zzzzz}[BЯ] (Size: 3.82 MB)
Description Confronting Hitler examines the lives of ten socialist leaders in their fight against Nazism. It reveals the aspects of these people's lives that most decisively shaped their views and actions during the Weimar Republic's final crisis, and it compares the German socialist experience of 1933 with those of other democratic socialist movements in the twentieth century. Editorial Reviews Review These biographical accounts are in themselves informative and help to illuminate the political thinking and behavior, not only of these leaders, but of much of the party during the final years of the Weimar Republic. (The Journal Of Central European History) Using an engaging biographical approach, William Smaldone examines the rise of Nazism from the perspective of their most important opponents. Adding considerably to the knowledge of the downfall of the Weimar Republic, Confronting Hitler reconsiders the quandary of committed democrats fighting for civility and social justice in the face of ruthless and violent enemies.
