Author: Otto Friedrich

Condition: new

Before the Deluge begins with Wilhelm II's abdication in 1918 and ends with Hitler's rise to power in 1933 and interweaves Berlin's political, cultural, and social history during that time. Most of what is here has been told before but Friedrich is a skillful narrator whose account of the familiar events is unusually vivid.
