As the former Foreign Minister and Chancellor of Weimar Germany, Gustav Stresemann is a familiar figure for students of German history-one who, for many, embodied the best qualities of German interwar liberalism. However, a more nuanced and ambivalent picture emerges in this biography by renowned historian Karl Heinrich Pohl, which draws on extensive research and new archival material to enrich our understanding of Stresmann's public image and political career. Pohl memorably explores the personality of a brilliant but flawed politician who endured class anxiety and social marginalization, dying on the eve of Germany's descent into economic and political upheaval.

Praise for the German edition:"[A] substantial contribution ... Pohl succeeds admirably in locating the statesman Stresemann within his personal experiences and his reactions to a tumultuous, sometimes fortuitous web of events." German History"Karl Heinrich Pohl's work will definitely take its place in the existing body of Stresemann literature as an innovative and informative work that deserves serious and widespread scholarly attention." Perspectivia"A very interesting book ... Pohl's book is valuable in inspiring us to revisit the life and work of Gustav Stresemann." Sehepunkte
