University College, Oxford. He is currently a British Academy
Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Corpus Christi College, Oxford.
The history of Weimar Germany's failure has never been told more accurately, convincingly, and vividly than in Robert Gerwarth's Bismarck Myth. Johannes Willms, Deutschland Radio Gerwarth's book makes an outstanding contribution to our understanding of modern Germany's political culture. Heinrich August Winkler Robert Gerwarth's study on Otto von Bismarck and the role of the Bismarck myth in the rise of Hitler sets new standards for the historiography of Weimar Germany (and) improves our understanding of the fatal turn which German history took in 1933.
