Summary

"For a quarter of a century the Congresses of the International provided a forum for the discussion of the great problems which faced the Socialist movement; whether political or industrial action should take precedence; whether Socialists should take part in capitalist governments; and above all how to prevent war. Drawing on the records of the proceedings of the Congresses and other sources, James Joll shows how the fortunes of the International revolve round the conflict between the highly-organized monolithic German Social Democratic Party with its efficient political machine and the diverse French Socialist groups with their internal divisions, their syndicalist leanings and their genuine revolutionary tradition; and he discusses the part played by the great Socialist leaders of the period, August Bebel, Wilhelm Liebknecht, Viktor Adler, Rosa Luxemburg and Jean Jaurès"--from the publisher
