Faithful to the Fatherland

This political biography focuses on the long-neglected career of Julius Curtius, German Foreign Minister from 1929 to 1932. Curtius was a key participant in the development of the German Republic's post-World War I revisionist foreign policy toward France, Poland, Austria, and the League of Nations. Drawing upon Curtius' background as a supporter of German nationalist aims, "Faithful to the Fatherland, " the first study to directly address Curtius' policies, offers new evidence for continuity in German diplomacy from the Weimar era to the Third Reich.
