There was widespread unrest and unemployment. Morale was crushed. The Allies' demands for reparations crippled the national economy. Russia had been taken over by the Bolsheviks and many believed that Germany would be next to fall to revolution. Writing between 1919 and 1923 as special correspondent for the Daily Herald, Morgan Philips Price, who had reported on the Bolshevik Revolution for the Manchester Guardian, was one of the relatively few foreign journalists in Weimar Germany during these eventful years. He recorded what he saw with an objective eye but his sympathy with the left gave him an understanding of the deeper implications behind the unfolding of events. These vivid and remarkable writings ~ both dispatches and contemporary diary entries ~ now reprinted for the first time in eighty years ~ cover the formative events in postwar Germany. Price witnesses the establishment of the Weimar Republic, reports on the signing of the Versailles Treaty, which he characterises as a blatant and excessive retribution, and describes the emergence of Hitler and the Nazi Party. Price transports us into the heat of the moment, whether covering street riots, the pulse and atmosphere of the time, or reporting his interviews and encounters with leading protagonists, such as Rosa Luxemburg, Gustav Stresemann, Ernst Seidl or the head of the British Military Mission in Berlin, General Sir Neil Malcolm. Price's eyewitness accounts offer a unique sense of living through this crucial period of modern history. Tania Rose's lucid introduction and linking passages provide the necessary context and valuable background reading. Morgan Philips Price's writings for the Manchester Guardian won him wide acclaim. He also reported for the Daily Herald, and the New York Herald Tribune, and was the author of ten books. His Dispatches from the Revolution: Russia 1916~18 was published by Pluto Press in 1997. Tania Rose is Price's daughter. She has had a long and varied career, working in government service for the Ministry of Information in the Second World War, the Commission for Racial Equality, and as a screen writer. Now retired, she devotes her time to historical research.
