Description: November 1918 by Robert Gerwarth Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The story of an epochal event in German history, this is also the story of the most important revolution that you might never have heard of. Publisher Description The German Revolution of November 1918 is nowadays largely forgotten outside Germany. It is generally regarded as a failure even by those who have heard of it, a missed opportunity which paved the way for the rise of the Nazis and the catastrophe to come. Robert Gerwarth argues here that to view the German Revolution in this way is a serious misjudgement. Not only did it bring down the authoritarian monarchy of the Hohenzollern, it also brought intobeing the first ever German democracy in an amazingly bloodless way. Focusing on the dramatic events between the last months of the First World War in 1918 and Hitlers Munich Putschof 1923, Robert Gerwarth illuminates the fundamental and deep-seated ways in which the November Revolution changed Germany. In doing so, he reminds us that, while it is easy with the benefit of hindsight to write off the 1918 Revolution as a failure, this failure was not somehow pre-ordained. In 1918, the fate of the German Revolution remained very much an open book. Author Biography Robert Gerwarth is Professor of Modern History at UCD and Director of the Centre for War Studies. He is the author of The Bismarck Myth (Oxford UP, 2005) and a biography of Reinhard Heydrich (Yale UP, 2011).

His work has been translated into some thirty languages.
