Larry E. Jones, PhD, emeritus professor of history, recently authored a new book, titled The German Right: Political Parties, Organized Interests, and Patriotic Associations in the Struggle against Weimar Democracy, 1918-1930 published by Cambridge University Press in England.
This book examines the various factors that accounted for the failure of various organizations on the German Right to effective resistance against the rise of Nazism and the eventual Nazi takeover of the German state in 1933. The official release of the book in the United States is scheduled for May 2.
Professor Jones is also co-editor, with Professor Hermann Beck of the University of Miami, of From Weimar to Hitler: Studies in the Dissolution of the Weimar Republic and the Establishment of the Third Reich, 1932-1945 that appeared with Berghahn Books in early 2019. Jones has also authored an essay entitled “From Democracy to Dictatorship: The Fall of Weimar and the Triumph of Nazism, 1930-33,” for the Oxford Handbook on the Weimar Republic that is edited for publication by Oxford University Press by Benjamin Ziemann and Natalie Rossol and that is scheduled to appear in 2021.
