The Weimar Republic, named for the city where it was established, endured for only fifteen years before it was toppled by the insurgent Nazi Party in 1933. In \u003ci\u003eVertigo\u003c\/i\u003e, prizewinning historian Harald Jähner tells the Republic's full story, capturing a nation caught in a whirlwind of uncertainty and struggling toward a better future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the aftermath of World War I, Germany was buffeted by political partisanship, economic upheaval, and the constant threat of revolutionary violence. At the same time, many Germans embraced newly liberated lifestyles. They flouted gender norms, flooded racetracks and dance halls, and fostered a vibrant avant-garde that encompassed groundbreaking artists like filmmaker Fritz Lang, painter Wassily Kandinsky, and architect Walter Gropius. But this new Germany sparked a reactionary backlash that led to the Republic's fall to the Nazis and, ultimately, the conflagration of World War II. \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e Blending deeply researched political history with the firsthand experiences of everyday people, \u003ci\u003eVertigo \u003c\/i\u003eis a vital, kaleidoscopic portrait of a pivotal moment in German history.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHarald Jähner\u003c\/b\u003e is a cultural journalist and former editor of the \u003ci\u003eBerliner Zeitung\u003c\/i\u003e.
