Reviews

"The councils of the early 20th century, as they are presented in this volume, were autonomous organs of the working class beyond the traditional parties and unions. They had stepped out of the hidden world of small political groups and represented a mass movement fighting for an all-encompassing council system." " --"Teo Panther, editor, "Alle Macht den Raten: Novemberrevolution 1918"

"The struggles of the German working class in the early 20th century are perhaps some of the most bitter and misunderstood in European history, and it is time they were paid more attention."" --"Richard Parry, author, "The Bonnot Gang"

"The German Revolution of 1918-1919 and the following years mark an exceptional period in German history. This collection brings the radical aspirations of the time alive and contains many important lessons for contemporary scholars and activists alike."" --"Markus Bauer, Free Workers' Union, FAU-IAA
