The German Right In The Weimar Republic

Significant recent research on the German Right between 1918 and 1933 calls into question received narratives of Weimar political history. The German Right in the Weimar Republic examines the role that the German Right played in the destabilization and overthrow of the Weimar Republic, with particular emphasis on the political and organizational history of Rightist groups as well as on the many permutations of right-wing ideology during the period.

In particular, antisemitism and the so-called Jewish Question played a prominent role in the self-definition and politics of the right-wing groups and ideologies explored by the contributors to this volume. Review: The individual chapters range in quality from good to excellent...[and offer] a judicious mix of work from prominent academics and younger scholars.

The weighing up of continuities and discontinuities between the Right and Nazism is well considered and offers refreshingly new insights into the history of inter-war Germany. * Conan Fischer, University of St. Andrews
