Description

Written in 1939 and unpublished until 2000, Sebastian Haffner’s memoir of the upward thrust of Nazism in Germany offers a singular portrait of the lives of odd German citizens between the wars. Covering 1907 to 1933, his eyewitness account provides a portrait of a country in constant flux: from the upward thrust of the First Corps, the correct-wing voluntary military force set up in 1918 to suppress Communism and precursor to the Nazi storm troopers, to the Hitler Youth movement; from the apocalyptic year of 1923 when inflation crippled the rustic to Hitler’s upward thrust to power. This fascinating personal history elucidates how the typical German grappled with a all of a sudden changing society, at the same time as chronicling day by day changes in attitudes, beliefs, politics, and prejudices.
