He doesn’t stop there: “But that is only part of the problem and in many respects the less interesting part. Within just a few months, the Nazis had asserted complete control over industrial output, finance, labor, the military, and politics in Germany. What followed with almost blinding speed was the consolidation of power by Hitler, the building of a war machine, and then the start of Second World War itself. And though to this day it is unclear whether the Nazis deliberately arranged the fire or only used it as an opportune pretext, the Reichstag fire became the justification for the arrests en masse of known Communists, including all Communist members of Parliament, clearing away the Nazis’ main adversary. On February 27, 1933, the Reichstag, the parliamentary building, was set on fire. Hitler now held sway over the police and the only electronic media of the age-radio.

Then, in a fateful miscalculation, thinking the Nazis were now in a weakened state and thus controllable, Hindenberg proceeded to name Hitler chancellor after all. Hindenberg scheduled another parliamentary election instead, and in November of 1932 Hitler’s Nazi party suffered a major reversal, losing 2 million votes by comparison with its results just four months earlier. But what successful revolution or movement hasn’t been built on a cascade of earlier failures? As we absorb the reality of the violent January 6 Capitol insurrection, Hamilton’s method of dispassionate scrutiny cries out to us. Not every failed coup leads to a successful one down the road. Not the whole story, necessarily-since in the end you need a strong point of view, a strong underlying political analysis, to see history clearly-but the most clear-eyed and damning part without which the whole story cannot be told. The data speak to us and shape a narrative that makes our assumptions and biases seem formulaic and predictable by comparison. But even assuming that any historian brings to any analysis their own imagined narrative arc and their own set of assumptions and biases, you come away from reading Hamilton’s tome (all 680 pages of it!) with a visceral sense of the historical events. I’ve long dismissed the notion of “objective” history or journalism. We Need a Reckoning With Trump’s Enablers
