Book Overview
The rudimentary facts of the Beer Hall Putsch are well known. The myth and conjecture they have generated are now replaced by detailed evidence in Harold Gordon's history, a thorough analysis of the events leading up to the Putsch, the ideologies and people struggling for power in Bavaria in 1923, the Putsch itself, and its aftermath. Originally published in 1972. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Gordon's created the seminal work on the Putsch.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Professor Gordon's work on the Hitler Putsch is excellent. It is a pioneering study on the event which taught Hitler the invaluable lesson of gaining political power through legitimate means. The book is the basis from which all other works on the subject are judged. Its only notable flaws are an over-emphasis on the role of moderate right-wing groups, a tedious account of the events of November 8 and 9, 1923, and a lack of attention to the role of the ensuing trial in making Hitler an internationally known figure.
A study of the Putsch.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
This book discusses the Putsch, and all political and paramilitary organizations active in Munich at the time. Its primary emphasis is on the moderate right wing groups affiliated with the Weimar Republic, such as Bund Bayern und Reich, making the title sort of a misnomer. It also has a detailed discussion of all events during the Putsch, such as comments people were yelling in the Burgerbraukellar when the Putsch started, and a map showing the route marched from the Burgerbraukellar to the Feldherrnhalle.
