This definitive documentary history collects manifestos, speeches, articles, and letters from the German Revolution-Rosa Luxemburg, the Revolutionary Stewards and Gustav Landauer amongst others-introduced and annotated by the editor. Many documents, such as the anarchist Erich M hsam'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.
