Description:  xix, 280 pages, 8 unnumbered pages : illustrations ; 25 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  Why did democracy fall apart so quickly and completely in Germany in the 1930s? How did a democratic government allow Adolf Hitler to seize power? To say that Hitler was elected is too simple. He would never have come to power if Germany's leading politicians had not responded to a spate of populist insurgencies by trying to co-opt him, a strategy that backed them into a corner from which the only way out was to bring the Nazis in. The misguided confidence of conservative politicians who believed that Hitler and his followers would willingly support them, not recognizing that their efforts to use the Nazis actually played into Hitler's hands. They had willingly given him the tools to turn Germany into a vicious dictatorship. The portraits of these feckless politicans show how fragile democracy can be when those in power do not respect it. A powerful lesson for today, when democracy once again finds itself embattled and the siren song of strongmen sounds ever louder. Benjamin Carter Hett is a Canadian historian and the author of Burning the Reichstag, Crossing Hitler, and Death in the Tiergarten. He is a professor of history at Hunter College and has a PhD in history from Harvard University and a law degree from the University of Toronto. He grew up in Edmonton, Alberta, and now lives in New York City.
