Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With unification as a nation state under Bismarck in 1871, Germany experienced the advent of mass politics. The dynamic political culture that emerged challenged the adaptability of the 'interlocking directorate of the Right.' This work examines how the authoritarian imagination inspired the Right and how political pragmatism constrained it.
