Summary:
"In recent years, significant new research has called into question our received narratives of German political history from 1918 and 1933. This book provides fresh analyses of 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 idelogical permutations that arose during the period. As these contributions show, antisemitism and the so-called "Jewish Question" played a prominent role in the self-definition and politics of the German right, even as its relationship to Nazism was defined both by continuities and profound disjunctures."--Back cover.
