Description
Summary:"Writing between 1919 and 1923 as special correspondent for the Daily Herald, Morgan Philips Price, who had reported on the Bolshevik Revolution for the Manchester Guardian, was one of the relatively few foreign journalists in Weimar Germany during these eventful years. He recorded what he saw with an objective eye but his sympathy with the left gave him an understanding of the deeper implications behind the unfolding of events. These vivid and remarkable writings - both dispatches and contemporary diary entries - now reprinted for the first time in eighty years - cover the formative events in postwar Germany. Price witnesses the establishment of the Weimar Republic, reports on the signing of the Versailles Treaty, which he characterises as a blatant and excessive retribution, and describes the emergence of Hitler and the Nazi Party."--Jacket
