However, a more nuanced and ambivalent picture emerges in this award-winning biography, which draws on extensive research and new archival material to enrich our understanding of Stresmann’s public image and political career. It memorably explores the personality of a brilliant but flawed politician who endured class anxiety and social marginalization, and who died on the eve of Germany’s descent into economic and political upheaval.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“…meticulously researched aspects add up to a rich portrayal of one of early twentieth-century Germany’s most spectacular individual success stories.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Journal of Modern History\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePraise for the German edition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“[A] substantial contribution … Pohl succeeds admirably in locating the statesman Stresemann within his personal experiences and his reactions to a tumultuous, sometimes fortuitous web of events.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• German History\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“Karl Heinrich Pohl’s work will definitely take its place in the existing body of Stresemann literature as an innovative and informative work that deserves serious and widespread scholarly attention.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Perspectivia\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“A very interesting book … Pohl’s book is valuable in inspiring us to revisit the life and work of Gustav Stresemann.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Sehepunkte\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Figures\u003cbr\u003e \tList of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e \tChronology\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/strong\u003e A Life\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Will to Rise\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003e Economic and Social Capital\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/strong\u003e Political Capital\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5. \u003c\/strong\u003eA Life in Turmoil\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/strong\u003e German and European Politics\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/strong\u003e Afterlife\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eConclusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Crossover Artist\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tSelected Works by Gustav Stresemann\u003cbr\u003e \tBibliography\u003cbr\u003e \tIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042552316247,"sku":"9781789202175","price":89.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781789202175.jpg?v=1750954608","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/gustav-stresemann-the-crossover-artist-9781789202175","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
