          BIBLIOGRAPHY

          German-Jewish industrialist and political leader.

          Walther Rathenau led a varied life, as an industrialist, intellectual, wartime administrator, and politician, before he was assassinated by extreme right-wing terrorists in June 1922.

          Rathenau's career embodied the challenges of coming to terms with the transformations in politics and business that took place between the 1890s and the 1920s. Born into a Jewish family, he moved among the elites of Wilhelmine Germany.

          He was educated at the universities of Strasbourg and Berlin, received a doctorate in physics, served in the army for one year, and then entered AEG (German General Electric), the company his father had set up, following the collapse of his first business venture.

          By the outbreak of war he was one of the leading industrial figures in Germany.

          Nonetheless he was critical of what he, like many contemporaries, saw as the materialism of his age and the conditions of the workers.
