A riveting account of how the Nazi Party came to power and how the failures of the Weimar Republic and the shortsightedness of German politicians allowed it to happen.

Why did democracy fall apart so quickly and completely in Germany in the 1930s? How did a democratic government allow Adolf Hitler to seize power? In The Death of Democracy, Benjamin Carter Hett answers these questions, and the story he tells has disturbing resonances for our own time.

To say that Hitler was elected is too simple. He would never have come to power if Germany's leading politicians had not responded to a spate of populist insurgencies by trying to co-opt him, a strategy that backed them into a corner from which the only way out was to bring the Nazis in. Hett lays bare the misguided confidence of conservative politicians who believed that Hitler and his followers would willingly support them, not recognizing that their efforts to use the Nazis actually played into Hitler's hands. They had willingly given him the tools to turn Germany into a vicious dictatorship.

Benjamin Carter Hett is a leading scholar of twentieth-century Germany and a gifted storyteller whose portraits of these feckless politicians show how fragile democracy can be when those in power do not respect it. He offers a powerful lesson for today, when democracy once again finds itself embattled and the siren song of strongmen sounds ever louder.

Amazing stuff
Style: 14oz
I’ve been using this stuff for a number of years for a number of vehicles now and it works every time. It’s especially great with those small annoying leaks where you just lose a couple pounds every few days so you have to keep adding air like once a week. It totally seals it. The bottle says to only rely on it for 300 to 500 miles and then get a proper fix. However, I have not found this to be the case. The seal holds for the rest of the life of my tire every time I’ve used it. My only complaint is that I wish it was a little cheaper, but you can seal up 2 tires (use only half the can per tire - you can probably even get away with using less). There is a garage not far from me that fixes leaking tires for $10, which is the same price as this product so not really saving any money by using it. It’s more just a matter of convenience. Just make sure you get this “thru-core” one. They have other ones as well so it can get confusing, but the one you’d want for situations like I’ve described above (small to medium leak in a typical passenger vehicle) is this “thru-core” one.

Saved the day, even at 25°
Style: 18oz
The tire tread was peeling off the tire causing a leak that could not be plugged. Completely flat. It was about 25° outside and the can only dispensed half the contents. Was able to inflate the tire and make it to the shop. So the slime saved the day.

My new go-to for roadside emergencies.
Size: 58pcs, Size: 58pcs
Okay, I recently picked up this 58-in-1 tire repair kit, and I'm really glad I did. I've always been a bit nervous about getting a flat tire, especially on a long trip, and this kit has been a huge relief. The first thing I noticed was how complete it is. It's got everything you could possibly need, from the T-handle reamer to the solid pliers. I really appreciate the feel of the tools—they're not flimsy at all. The handle has a great grip, and the spiral tip on the reamer looks like it will make it easy to clear out a puncture without a lot of hassle. The plugs themselves feel tough and durable, like they'll actually hold up. I haven't had to use it on the road yet (thankfully!), but I did a practice run on an old tire I had. The instructions were easy enough to follow, and the whole process felt manageable. The best part is how compact the entire kit is. It all fits neatly into a little box that I can just toss in my trunk. It doesn't take up any space, and it gives me a real sense of security knowing it's there. It covers so many different vehicles, too, which is a nice bonus. It's definitely a peace-of-mind purchase that I'd recommend to anyone.
