Description
Book Synopsis: A bold new interpretation of Germany’s democratic transformation in the twentieth century, focusing on the generation that shaped the post-Nazi reconstruction. Not long after the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust, Germans rebuilt their shattered country and emerged as one of the leading nations of the Western liberal world. In his debut work, Noah Strote analyzes this remarkable turnaround and challenges the widely held perception that the Western Allies—particularly the United States—were responsible for Germany’s transformation. Instead, Strote draws from never-before-seen material to show how common opposition to Adolf Hitler united the fractious groups that had once vied for supremacy under the Weimar Republic, Germany’s first democracy (1918-1933). His character-driven narrative follows ten Germans of rival worldviews who experienced the breakdown of Weimar society, lived under the Nazi dictatorship, and together assumed founding roles in the democratic reconstruction. While many have imagined postwar Germany as the product of foreign-led democratization, this study highlights the crucial role of indigenous ideas and institutions that stretched back decades before Hitler. Foregrounding the resolution of key conflicts that crippled the country’s first democracy, Strote presents a new model for understanding the origins of today’s Federal Republic.
Details
Discover a bold new interpretation of Germany's transformative journey from the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust to becoming one of the leading nations in the Western liberal world. Lions and Lambs: Conflict in Weimar and the Creation of Post-Nazi Germany by Noah Strote delves deep into the generation that shaped the reconstruction of a shattered country. Contrary to popular belief, Strote challenges the notion that the Western Allies alone were responsible for Germany's transformation.
Through extensive research and the use of never-before-seen material, Strote reveals the common opposition to Adolf Hitler that brought together factions that once competed for dominance under the Weimar Republic. Experience the breakdown of Weimar society, the dark era of the Nazi dictatorship, and the subsequent roles played by ten Germans with contrasting worldviews in the democratic reconstruction of Germany.
While others have credited foreign-led democratization for postwar Germany's success, Lions and Lambs sheds light on the indigenous ideas and institutions that had been shaping the country for decades prior to Hitler's rise to power. Strote's character-driven narrative uncovers the resolution of conflicts that gravely impacted Germany's first democracy and presents a fresh perspective on the origins of the Federal Republic we know today.
