Author:
In a skillful combination of biographical case study and contextual analysis, Scheck presents a readable, often thrilling, account of the troubled transition period before the Nazi catastrophe. Drawing from a vast base of previously unused documents, the book traces the conspiracies and public campaigns of Great Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz, a key figure of the German right. By focusing on Tirpitz, known as a supreme politician and manipulator of public opinion, Scheck explains the political and ideological problems contributing to the breakdown of the conservative German right and to the success of the National Socialists in the early 1930s.
Raffael Scheck, M.A. in History and German Studies, University of Zürich, Ph.D. in Comparative European History, Brandeis University, has published articles on German right-wing politics, nationalist women's groups in the early Weimar Republic, and the history of childhood. He is currently working on a book project on the integration of conservative women's groups into the German parties after 1918.
All those interested in German History.
