Brose argues that Christian labor leaders navigated a deeply frustrating political landscape, caught between the conservative hierarchies of their own churches, an indifferent imperial state, and the growing dominance of socialist unionism. Drawing on extensive archival research, the narrative details the internal tensions, ideological contradictions, and tactical compromises that defined the movement from the Wilhelmine era through the upheavals of World War I. Written with scholarly precision yet accessible clarity, the work illustrates how religion, class identity, and political ambition intersected in ways that shaped the broader trajectory of German social democracy and ultimately foreshadowed the fractures of the Weimar Republic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887931699419,"sku":"2026770000298-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/60b20d61-6259-4ee4-8621-408606b47df2.png?v=1781749921","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000298-secondhand-christian-labor-and-the-politics-of-frustration-in-imperial-germany","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
