Bøker av James Retallack

German Social Democracy through British Eyes uses diplomatic reports sent from Germany to Britain to document the rise of social democracy as well as efforts to repress it.

Retallack reveals the complex and contradictory nature of the Second Reich, presenting Imperial Germany as it was seen by outsiders and insiders as well as by historians, political scientists, and sociologists ever since.

Written with clear, persuasive prose, this wide-ranging analysis draws together threads of reasoning from German and Anglo-American scholars over the past 30 years and points the way for future research into unexplored areas.
