Writing between 1919 and 1923 as special correspondent for the Manchester Guardian, Philips Price was one of the very few foreign journalists in Weimar Germany during these eventful years following Germany's defect.These vivid and remarkable writings -- both dispatches and contemporary diary entries -- now reprinted for the first time in 80 years, cover the formative events in postwar Germany. Price witnesses the establishment of the Weimar Republic, reports on the signing of the Versailles Treaty, and describes the emergence of the Hitler and the Nazi Party and the conditions which made their rise possible.
He transports us into the heat of the moment, whether covering street riots, the pulse and atmosphere of the time, or reporting his interviews and encounters with key protagonists.
This book presents a brilliant journalist's compelling eyewitness account of the turmoil that led to Nazism.
