The Death of Democracy: Hitler's Rise to Power and the Downfall of the Weimar Republic by Benjamin Carter Hett

5.0

Why did Hitler happen? How did Hitler happen in a civilized and educated country? How could conservatives set aside their principles to work with a demonstrated madman? How could a country with one of the most sophisticated democracies ever devised end up as the world’s most infamous dictatorship?
These are only some of the questions discussed in this morality tale set on the backdrop of trump in America. Without ever mentioning the name or drawing a parallel, no thinking person could read this and not shudder.
