About this product
Product Information
This is a history of Germany in the years between the fall of the Third Reich and the beginning of the Cold War. The book examines this volatile period, when the capital of the world's recently defeated public enemy assumed emotional and symbolic meaning. The book does not examine major cultural and intellectual achievements, but looks at the hopes and plans that failed. At the close of the war, the Berlin intelligentsia, torn apart by Nazism and exile, returned to rebuild a neo-Weimar republic of letters, arts and thought. The text studies those who were qualified and serious and those who were merely opportunists, and recreates the three years of carnival before the advent of the Cold War.Product Identifiers
