"Weite des Horizonts, Schärfe der Analyse und Prägnanz der Sprache" Heinrich August Winkler über Eberhard Kolb Eberhard Kolb ist einer der besten Kenner der Weimarer Republik. Er legt hier in neuer Gestalt seinen kompakten, gut lesbaren Überblick über die Geschichte der ersten deutschen Demokratie vor.
