About the Book

Gustav Stresemann was the exceptional political figure of his time. His early death in 1929 has long been viewed as the beginning of the end for the Weimar Republic and the opening through which Hitler was able to come to power. His career was marked by many contradictions but also a pervading loyalty to the values of liberalism and nationalism. This enabled him in time both to adjust to defeat and revolution and to recognize in the Republic the only basis on which Germans could unite, and in European cooperation the only way to avoid a new war. His attempt to build a stable Germany as an equal power in a stable Europe throws an important light on German history in a critical time. Hitler was the beneficiary of his failure but, so long as he was alive, Stresemann offered Germans a clear alternative to the Nazis. Jonathan Wright's fascinating new study is the first modern biography of Stresemann to appear in English or German.

Review :
A modern critical biography of Stresemann has been long awaited. Jonathan Wright has produced a work which satisfies high standards,... the result of many years' research using all available sources. `he abundant detail is balanced by a brilliant 30-page conclusion, pertinently summarising all aspects of Stresemann's influence' Eberhard Kolb, Allgemeine Zeitung `the first comprehensive biography in English of one of Germany's three greatest diplomats" as "an admirably old-fashioned, academic biography: lucidly and crisply written, it deftly bridges domestic politics and diplomacy." Schwarz concludes that Wright's "judicious work is indispensable for understanding both interwar diplomacy--one of the most important and complex subjects of modern history--and the German problem, a conundrum perhaps still with us.' Ben Schartz, The Atlantic Monthly `sympathetic and authoritative biographer...Wright provides a full and persuasive account of Stresemann's professionsal progression' THES `Writing with sound judgement and senstive interpretation, the author has created an impressive monument to Stresemann.' Eberhard Kolb, Allgemeine Zeitung `exceptional...elegantly-written book that persuasively makes the case for Stresemann's indispensibility to the poor old Weimar Republic.' Niall Ferguson, Sunday Telegraph, 1/12/02
