Produktbeschreibung

This is the first edited volume on the Nazi seizure of power that spans the entire period from the end of the Brüning chancellorship in the late spring of 1932 though the Nazi consolidation of power in the Röhm purge of June 30, 1934. The essays offer a multitude of different perspectives on the period from May 1932 to June 1934 and run the gamut from intellectual and cultural to social, economic, and political history. The essays are all based on extensive primary research in a wide range of public and private archives and present interpretations that are on the cutting edge of the most recent research on the end of the Weimar Republic and the Nazi consolidation of power.
