André Keil’s elegantly written text opens up new ways of imagining modern German history as a struggle between authoritarian and democratic forces and brings home to us the urgency of a return to the political when understanding the country’s past and present challenges. * Matthew Stibbe, Professor of Modern European History, Sheffield Hallam University, UK *

André Keil’s elegantly written text opens up new ways of imagining modern German history as a struggle between authoritarian and democratic forces and brings home to us the urgency of a return to the political when understanding the country’s past and present challenges. * Matthew Stibbe, Professor of Modern European History, Sheffield Hallam University, UK * This concise and student-friendly volume belies its seemingly conventional narrative structure with a host of subtle and sometimes subversive insights. Keil argues it was the dynamic interplay between the forces of revolution and reaction, rather than an inherently authoritarian mindset, that repeatedly led German governments in a dictatorial direction. * Matthew Jefferies, Professor of German History, University of Manchester, UK *
