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. Larry Eugene Jones is Professor of Modern European History at Canisius College in Buffalo, New York. He is a specialist in the history of the Weimar Republic and author of German Liberalism and the Dissolution of the Weimar Republic, 1918 to 1933. He is currently working on a book entitled Hitler versus Hindenburg: The 1932 Presidential Elections and the End of the Weimar Republic for Cambridge University Press.

Historical essays on German mass politics, from novel and sometimes surprising viewpoints.

This book is the first in-depth study of the events that culminated in the establishment of the Third Reich.

Prominent American, British and German historians provide new insights into the social, political, and intellectual components of German conservatism from its origins in the late 18th century through to the end of the Third Reich. The essays combine fresh empirical research with new theoretical and historiographical perspectives to provide the basis for a collective reassessment of the role that conservatism has played in Germany's national development.

Der Sammelband zeichnet den politischen Lebensweg eines in vielerlei Hinsicht authentischen Konservativen nach: Kuno Graf von Westarp (1864-1945). Westarp sammelte politische Erfahrungen in drei unterschiedlichen politischen Systemen-Kaiserreich, Weimarer Republik, Drittes Reich -, so dass sich anhand seines politischen Wirkens die Charakteristika konservativer Weltanschauung in der bewegten ersten Halfte des 20. Jahrhunderts besonders markant herausarbeiten lassen.
