About the Book

The contributors to this volume explore the powerful impact of Socialism and Communism on modern German history. Whereas previous investigations have focused on political, intellectual, and biographical aspects, this book captures - for the first time - the methodological and thematic diversity and richness of the German working class, including the political movements that emerged from it. Based on original contributions from U.S., British, and German scholars, this collection successfully addresses a number of themes and problems.

Review :
"... a rich, complex, authoritative, scholarly survey of Germany's socialist heritage."  · The Midwest Book Review "Can twenty-three essays present the history of German socialism and communism, as well as those movements' members, supporters, and policies in the context of social history? This fine collection comes close to achieving that difficult task ... A very high quality work."  · Central European History "Certainly the best collection of essays on the SPD and KPD ... The editors and contributors ... have provided fresh intrepretations ... and have set a high standard for present and future scholars."  · H-Net Reviews
