Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 17
The Weimar Republic has become a byword for a failed, tragic, political experiment. The official period of its existence, 1919-1933, marked the interwar years in Germany and their related uncertainty, chaos, and the state’s ultimate collapse. Historians have found the roots of Nazism embedded in the Weimar years and that in the final analysis, Weimar politicians voluntarily handed over power to the man who wrought destruction on an epic scale, Adolf Hitler.

Underwhelming but informative
Revisado: 12-02-19
The book touches on several key historical moments and manages to reproduce a plausible and comprehensive context. It fails however fail to properly narrate the night of broken crystals, the night of long knives and the very interesting Preussenschlag (federal coertion) so key in present times. It does bring light, but not enough. Narrative is excessively third person and makes it hard to relate to clearly linked events happening now. Information is welcome, but more engagement is needed to truly understand and challenge the cyclic degeneration of democracies.

Sleep is the subject of intense scientific debate among biologists and neuroscientists. Why must we spend about one-third of our lives asleep? What exactly is sleep? Why does a lack of sleep impair our cognitive abilities and leave us vulnerable to a host of medical issues ranging from obesity to reduced resistance to infectious disease?

The Roman Republic was the most remarkable state in history. What began as a small community of peasants camped among marshes and hills ended up ruling the known world. Rubicon paints a vivid portrait of the Republic at the climax of its greatness - the same greatness which would herald the catastrophe of its fall. It is a story of incomparable drama.

an excitingly related, astoshingly detailed depiction of the extremely interesting times of the fall of the roman republic. As a profane in the original historical sources, this has been a great pleasure. Recommended to everyone, who wonders the why and how of governments.
