Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book explores the rise of labour politics in Europe before 1914, the hopes and aspirations of working men in the revolutionary upheavals at the end of World War I and the tragedy of failure in the face of fascism. Most European states saw the rise of independent working-class politics before 1914 and labour movements were already prominent on the political landscape by the outbreak of war. This book attempts to explain the emergence of labour politics, which workers organized and why the views they held about politics varied from one country to another. It then explores the impact of war and revolution on European Labour, asking why workers enjoyed political success in some places and not in others. A crucial factor was the divisions of labour politics into two hostile camps, a division which proved fatal in some places in the face of fascism.
