Proletarians and Politics: Socialism, Protest and the Working Class in Germany Before the First World War

By Richard J. Evans

Book Overview

This book - as a history of the German labor movement - offers a critique of the traditional emphasis on organization and ideology both through a survey of the literature and a presentation of new evidence, including a study of working-class opinion on a wide range of political and social issues, based on reports compiled by police spies in the pubs and bars of Hamburg between 1892 and 1914.
