Chronicle of a Downfall

Leopold Schwarzschild, a pivotal figure in interwar Germany, is celebrated for his sharp political insights as the editor of 'Das Tage-Buch'. His critiques of the Weimar Republic's economic policies gained prominence until his emigration in 1933 due to Hitler's rise. Resuming his work in Paris with 'Das Neue Tage-Buch', he passionately condemned the complacency of European powers in the face of Nazism, predicting an imminent military conflict. His influential journalism, admired by figures like Winston Churchill, is now available in English for the first time.
