Larry Eugene Jones, PhD, professor in the Department of History at Canisius College, recently published Hitler versus Hindenburg:  The 1932 Presidential Elections and the End of the Weimar Republic with Cambridge University Press.  Jones’ book, which is based upon extensive research in more than 100 archival collections, provides the first in-depth study of the titanic struggle between the two most dominant figures on the German Right in the years that preceded the establishment of the Third Reich.  The elections, which ended in a victory of the sitting Reich president Paul von Hindenburg over the man whom he would appoint as head of the German government a scant eight months later, was a critical event in the series of developments that culminated in the collapse of German democracy and the triumph of Nazism.
