Overview

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.
