Scholars have long debated whether Heinrich Bruning, head of the
German government from 1930 to 1932, was the 'last democratic
chancellor'of the Weimar Republic or the trailblazer of the Nazi
dictatorship. His memoirs (published in 1970) damaged his
reputation badly by terming the restoration of monarchy the 'crux'
of his policies. This 1998 book is the first scholarly biography of
Bruning in any language and offers a systematic analysis of the
economic, social, foreign, and military policies of his cabinet as
it sought to cope with the Great Depression. With the help of newly
available sources, it clarifies the peculiar distortions in the
memoirs, showing that Chancellor Bruning intended to restore
parliamentary democracy intact when the economic crisis passed. He
was curbing the Nazi menace successfully when President Hindenburg,
reactionary landowners, and army generals eager for massive
rearmament made the disastrously misguided decision to topple him.
