Fateful Hours: The Collapse of the Weimar Republic 

From the New York Times best-selling historian comes a riveting history of the Weimar Republic—a fragile young democracy beset by chaos, extremism, and the forces that ultimately dissolved it into the Third Reich. Fateful Hours traces Germany’s first democracy from its birth after World War I through years of hyperinflation, foreign invasion, political violence, and social upheaval, revealing that its collapse was not inevitable. Drawing on letters, memoirs, newspapers, and firsthand accounts, Volker Ullrich vividly portrays a nation on the brink and the many missed chances to stop the rise of fascism. In gripping narrative style, he reminds us that, as then, the fate of democracy depends on the choices we make. Includes 36 black-and-white illustrations.
