Short list of books for lecture on Democracy

• Populism Michael Burleigh

How Democracies Die Levitsky & Ziblatt

The End of Enlightenment Richard Whatmore

• Twilight of Democracy Anne Applebaum

• Frontlash/Backlash Jeffrey Alexander

• My recommendations, but NB Alexander's book requires careful reading, this is not a light bedtime read.

On Weimar, you might like to have details of two new books

Vertigo: The Rise and Fall of Weimar Germany by Harald Jahner

Fateful Hours: The Collapse of The Weimar Republic by Volker Ulrich.

NB Ulrich is a popular German historian and is always a good read.
