Description: This book examines how historians have interpreted the German revolution of 1918-19 from its inception to the present day. It charts how the debate on this revolution changed during the Weimar republic, the Nazi period and the second world war, in the time of Germany's division from 1949 to 1990, and finally in the years since German reunification.
