"This is cultural history at its best. Jelavich offers a compelling case study that illuminates the 'death of Weimar culture' in chilling detail. No other work informs us so masterfully about the mechanisms of media censorship and authorial self-censorship during the last years of the Weimar Republic."--Bernd Widdig, author of "Culture and Inflation in Weimar Germany" "Jelavich's unique approach constitutes a brilliant achievement.

This is a stimulating and persuasive read."--Lutz Koepnick, author of "Dark Mirror: German Cinema between Hollywood and Hitler"
