Books by Eric D. Weitz

Eric D. Weitz, A World Divided: The Global Struggle for Human Rights in the Age of Nation-States , is indeed a history of human rights in theory but most of all in practice.

1. Weimar Germany: Promise and Tragedy , by Eric D. Weitz.  A bit stolid, but a good general overview of an era I very much would like to be able to visit.  That said, deflation and fascist political movements make for an obviously nasty combination.
