Printing Details
First German edition. Hardback in dustwrapper. 21 × 13.5cm, 224pp. German text.
The masterfully told story of what happened in Germany following its defeat in the first world war: the Kaiser’s exit from the stage, the sailors’ mutiny, the spreading of the revolution and its betrayal by its own chosen socialist leaders. Haffner recounts the murder of Karl Liebknecht and of Rosa Luxemburg—and the deliberate creation of those relentless counter-revolutionary forces that became the nightmare of the Third Reich. More than a brilliant historical study: it has vital lessons for our own day. The book was published in English as Failure of a Revolution: Germany 1918–19.
Condition
The book is in good readable condition, with a previous owner's name to the front pastedown and some light rubbing to the boards. The dustwrapper is suffers loss to the edges and is faded to the spine but is now within a protective sleeve.
