How are the most terrifying dictatorships born? To understand the true nature of Nazism, we must look back to the events that preceded its emergence. The end of World War I contributed to the collapse of great empires and unleashed an unprecedented revolutionary wave that swept from Berlin to Vienna. Workers' councils, communist uprisings, "Red Vienna," and the Bavarian Soviet Republic—it seemed as if all of Central Europe stood on the threshold of a new future. But why did this impulse fizzle out in blood?

This book by the distinguished French historian Jean-Noume Ducange reveals how fear of a revolution similar to the October Revolution led to a fatal alliance between the authorities and far-right paramilitary groups, the brutal suppression of leftist uprisings, and the assassination of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht. Ducange brilliantly shows how the brutality of the counter-revolution of 1918–23 sowed the seeds of Nazism and paved the way for Hitler.
