Synopses & Reviews
This is a pioneering comparative study of the early years of the British Labour Party and the German Social Democratic Party. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources in both countries, Berger argues that the traditional view of deep-seated cultural and ideological differences between the two labor movements must be revised. His controversial conclusions will open up a new perspective on old debates.
