Shortlisted for the National Book Award for Nonfiction (1969).

The Weimar Republic, which existed between November 1918 and January 1933, was so prodigal in intellectual and artistic achievement that it has become a legend. When we think of Weimar, we think of modernity in art, literature and thought; we think of the rebellion of sons against fathers, Dadaists against art, Berliners against beefy philistinism, libertines against old-fashioned moralists; we think of The Threepenny Opera, The Cabinet of De. Caligari, the Bauhaus, Marlene Deitrich. We think also of the exiles who exported Weimar Culture all over the world. And what a dazzling array they were: Albert Einstein, Thomas Mann, Bertolt Brecht, Arnold and Stefan Zweig, Walter Gropius, George Grosz, Stefan George, Max Reinhardt, Max Beckmann, - to name but a few. The range of the Weimar Republic's virtuosity is so broad that it encompasses the artistic and intellectual movements of the time. In order to give a fuller picture a short political history of the Weimar Republic and a comprehensive bibliography with short comments are appended.
