It will exert considerable influence on how we think about Weimar and the Federal Republic.”—Peter Fritzsche, author of \u003ci\u003eAn Iron Wind: Europe under Hitler\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Ever since the sociologist M. Rainer Lepsius popularized the notion of ‘social milieux,’ it has been commonplace to recall Wilhelmine and Weimar-era Germany as a society divided into discrete cultural-political domains. After 1945, however, a new spirit of partnership brought together these once-antagonistic groups to forge the relatively stable and enduring ethos of the German Federal Republic. In his broad-ranging and suggestive new book, Noah Strote sheds a helpful light on this ideological transformation.”—Peter E.
