Zabern 1913: Consensus Politics in Imperial Germany

History

Schoenbaum, David

Europe

Unwin Hyman

The United States and the State of Israel

Schoenbaum's book is a history of one of the most remarkable liaisons in international experience, a portrait of the special relationship between the last remaining superpower and the tiny Jewish state between the Jordan and the Mediterranean, and a study of how that relationship grew and works. From Truman to Bush, the United States has assured Israel's existence, while providing billions in military and economic support. Over the same period, no U.S. president has ever submitted a formal treaty of alliance to the Senate, or even moved the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. In fact, cross-purposes and mutual doubts have always coexisted with shared values, complementary interests, great expectations, and real achievements. Schoenbaum's book traces Israeli-American relations from their roots in both American and Jewish experience to the risks and opportunities of the current peace process. It also examines the relationship in the perspective of two world wars, the Cold War, the Gulf War, European colonialism and Middle Eastern nationalisms, global policy, and domestic politics in both countries. The result is the story of one of history's oddest international couples, hard-pressed to live together, but unable to live apart.

The author attempts to analyze Hitler's appeal to German farmers, workers, businessmen, industrialists, women and youth. Beginning with Germany's social situation after World War I, he demonstrates how Hitler improvised a programme that claimed to offer a classless society.

The life, times, and travels of a remarkable instrument and the people who have made, sold, played, and cherished it. A 16-ounce package of polished wood, strings, and air, the violin is perhaps the most affordable, portable, and adaptable instrument ever created. As congenial to reels, ragas, Delta blues, and indie rock as it is to solo Bach and late Beethoven, it has been played standing or sitting, alone or in groups, in bars, churches, concert halls, lumber camps, even concentration camps, by pros and amateurs, adults and children, men and women, at virtually any latitude on any continent. Despite dogged attempts by musicologists worldwide to find its source, the violin’s origins remain maddeningly elusive. The instrument surfaced from nowhere in particular, in a world that Columbus had only recently left behind and Shakespeare had yet to put on paper. By the end of the violin’s first century, people were just discovering its possibilities. But it was already the instrument of choice for some of the greatest music ever composed by the end of its second. By the dawn of its fifth, it was established on five continents as an icon of globalization, modernization, and social mobility, an A-list trophy, and a potential capital gain.
In The Violin, David Schoenbaum has combined the stories of its makers, dealers, and players into a global history of the past five centuries. From the earliest days, when violin makers acquired their craft from box makers, to Stradivari and the Golden Age of Cremona; Vuillaume and the Hills, who turned it into a global collectible; and incomparable performers from Paganini and Joachim to Heifetz and Oistrakh, Schoenbaum lays out the business, politics, and art of the world’s most versatile instrument. 16 pages of illustrations

Beginning with Germany's social situation after World War I, David Schoenbaum shows how Hitler improvised a program that apparently offered something to everyone--above all, the mirage of a classless society. In fact, the gap between the ideology of the Reich and its actual character was enormous. But under the spell of the mirage, the will to resist was undermined by an accelerating process of social disintegration.

No single American could personify what Henry Luce called the American Century, but Isaac Stern came closer than most. Despite modest origins as the child of Jewish immigrants in San Francisco, by the early 1940s talent and practice had brought him a Carnegie Hall debut, critical acclaim, and the attention of the legendary Sol Hurok. As America came of age, so too did Stern. He would go on to make music on five continents, records in formats from 78 rpm to digital, friends as different as Frank Sinatra and Isaiah Berlin, and policy from Carnegie Hall to Washington, Jerusalem, and Shanghai. He also loaned instruments to young players, brokered gigs for Soviet emigr&Atilde;&copy;s, and replied in person to inquiring fifth graders. Wide-ranging yet intimate, The Lives of Isaac Stern is a portrait of an artist and musical statesman who began as a first-generation American dreamer and left behind a profound musical and cultural legacy.

Review\nPour David Schoenbaum, il y eut sous le Ille Reich une révolution sociale. C’est autour du « socialisme » du « national-socialisme » que cet essai creuse son sillon. ― Transfuge Published On: 2021-03-01\nL’historien états-unien David Schoenbaum explore dans cet essai très documenté les caractères multiples (et souvent contradictoires) de cette « révolution brune » qui, en enterrant la « vieille Prusse », créa les conditions du développement de la République fédérale allemande moderne. ― Politis Published On: 2021-04-15\nAvec La Révolution brune, de David Schoenbaum, l’étude du nazisme est passée au stade scientifique, à la froide objectivité de données sociologiques et quantitatives.1933, date de l’accession de Hitler au pouvoir, plus que 1918, date de la déposition de Guillaume II, marque le début réel d’un processus de « modernisation » de l’Allemagne traditionnelle.Arrivé au pouvoir avec une idéologie prônant le retour à la terre et à la petite entreprise, plus généralement à une image mythique de l’Allemagne médiévale, féodale ou barbare, le régime nazi accéléra dans la pratique le processus de transformation du pays en une société industrielle moderne, n’empêchant finalement ni l’exode rural, ni la liquidation de la petite entreprise, ni le travail féminin, « démocratisant », mieux que ne l’avait fait la République, l’armée et les administrations, en noyant les élites aristocratiques et bureaucratiques traditionnelles sous un flot d’arrivisme petit-bourgeois. En 1945, terme du processus, année zéro d’une nouvelle Allemagne, la vieille Prusse a cessé d’exister. Paradoxalement, le nazisme a créé les conditions d’exercice du régime démocratique stable qu’est la République fédérale.
