"Socialist historian Ben Fowkes has given us a unique and vivid text documentary of the German workers' movement during the tumultuous years of its greatest influence. For socialists, this unique resource breaks through veils of historical interpretation and ideology and permits us to hear the protagonists of our movement's past in their own words." βJohn Riddell, editor Toward the United Front
