All Power to the Councils!: A Documentary History of the German Revolution of 1918-1919

This definitive documentary history collects manifestos, speeches, articles, and letters from the German Revolution. Many documents, such as the anarchist Erich Muhsam's comprehensive account of the Bavarian Council Republic, are presented here in English for the first time. The volume also includes materials from the Red Ruhr Army that repelled the reactionary Kapp Putsch in 1920 and the communist bandits that roamed Eastern Germany until 1921. All Power to the Councils! provides a dynamic and vivid picture of a time of great hope and devastating betrayal.
