Death of democracy

Book name: Death of Democracy Author: Benjamin Carter Hett Publisher: Fawaasil Book classification: Novel Summary of the book: Why did democracy completely and quickly collapse in the Weimar Republic in 1930? How did a democratic government allow Hitler to seize power? Such questions are answered by Death of Democracy by its author Benjamin Carter Hett, to echo a troubling story that resonates in our current time. It has been said that Hitler came to power through elections. But there is some simplification in that. And that would not have happened if German political leaders had not ignored the waves of popular rebellion and chosen to cooperate with him in facing them, which cornered them with this strategy, leaving them no way out but to allow the Nazis to take power. Benjamin Carter Hett is one of the most important researchers in German history in the twentieth century, as well as a talented storyteller. He reveals to us, through describing politicians and their incapacity, the fragility of democracy when those in power and decision-making do not respect it. He also offers a poignant lesson for our days, as democracy itself is besieged once again, and the voices of the strong rise louder than ever.
