"I had high hopes for this one, but I thought this book ran out of steam well before it ran out of words. The essential problem, I believe, is that Weitz sees too much 'promise' in evidence that is heavy on 'tragedy'. Accentuating this admirable-but-problematic reading of the Weimar Republic is the way this book bounces between high politics, high culture and everyday life. Lots of good political horse-trading tales and fantastic intellectual debates here, but underplayed here are the pressures on ordinary people and the role they play in determining larger discourses. I know this is a trade book and that eloquent spokespersons make for better reading... but what the little people thought and did mattered greatly in the ultimate collapse of the Republic and the rise of the Nazi party.
A serviceable introduction to the topic and highly readable... but I did not feel it did much to exceed Peter Gay's opus."
"Excellent history of the political, cultural, and economic history of the Weimar period. This book provided more insight into the different political parties in Germany after World War I, and why they failed, then any other book that I've read."
