Publisher's Synopsis
The question of how the Nazis came to power in one of the most advanced countries in the world, both industially and culturally, remains a burning question. In this work the author discounts recent arguments suggesting that their success was the product of a profound and long-held anti-Semitism within the German national psyche and demonstrates that the Nazis were of marginal significance until the crisis in the German economy made their commitment to smash any gains for the working class from the German Revolution attractive to wide sections of the German ruling class.
