Germans and Jews

Exploring a pivotal period in German history, the book examines how intellectuals from both the left and right sought to create a "third force" to address societal issues, moving beyond communism and capitalism. This ideological shift significantly influenced the political landscape, leading to a disconnect between left-wing efforts and reality, while the right ultimately found its desired force in fascism. Mosse’s analysis highlights the profound implications of these developments on German history during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
