Dietrich Orlow is professor of history at Boston University.
"[Orlow] argues that Prussia's success at establishing stable
cooperation among liberals, Catholics, and Social Democrats in the
Weimar Republic was no accident. It reflected a reforming tradition
dating to 1848. It incorporated a Prussian patriotism that regarded
the integrity and stability of Prussia as vital for sustaining and
modernizing the Reich as a whole."

"A provocative reinterpretation of Prussian political history
between 1918 and 1925. . . . his research is thorough and
impressive."

"Dietrich Orlow, known for his detailed history of the Nazi party,
deals here with the structure and functioning of the Prussian state
government in the critical years of the Weimar Republic. [He shows]
that the existence of a well-governed and relatively stable Prussia
was crucial in enabling the Weimar Republic to survive its first
six years, and he has provided a useful and worthwhile counterpoint
to its history at the national level."
