The British Labour Party and the German Social Democrats, 1900-1931 [Hardcover]

This is a pioneering comparative study of the early years of the British Labour Party and the German Social Democratic Party. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources in both countries, Berger argues that the traditional view of deep-seated cultural and ideological differences between the two labor movements must be revised. His controversial conclusions will open up a new perspective on old debates.

An important work that actually practices what so many historians preach but do not carry out: comparative history....deserves to be read by British, German, and labor historians. --CHOICE

...The British Labour Party and the German Social Democratsconstitutes an intelligent review of the very extensive literature on these two parties. --Journal of Modern History
