In 'Historia de un alemán: Memorias 1914-1933', Sebastian Haffner offers a personal and revealing chronicle of the formative years that marked the rise of Nazism in Germany. Written with sharpness and a touch of humor, this book, found posthumously, analyzes the social discontent and ambiguous emotions that allowed Hitler's triumph. Haffner, from his perspective as a German citizen, seeks to understand the historical events and the reasons behind the collective madness that seized his country, making this work an essential reading to understand one of the darkest periods of the 20th century.
Raimund Pretzel, better known by his pseudonym Sebastian Haffner, was a German journalist and historian. As an émigré in Britain during World War II, Haffner argued that accommodation was not only impossible with Adolf Hitler but also impossible with the German Reich with which Hitler had gambled. Peace could be secured only by rolling back history and restoring Germany to a network of smaller states. As a journalist in West Germany, Haffner's independence and penchant for provocation precipitated breaks with editors both liberal and conservative. His intervention in the Spiegel affair of 1962, and his contributions to the anti-fascist rhetoric of the student New Left, sharply raised his profile.
