Roger Fletcher chronicles how leading revisionist thinkers reconciled socialist theory with the realities of German colonial expansion and great-power rivalry, illustrating the profound contradictions that fractured the international socialist movement in the years leading up to the First World War. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, the analysis presents a compelling case that the revisionist embrace of empire was not a mere aberration but a coherent, if deeply contested, ideological position rooted in assumptions about national interest and economic development. Written with academic precision and analytical depth, the work remains an essential reference for historians of German socialism, imperialism, and the broader crisis of the European left in the pre-war decades.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48839394066651,"sku":"2026770002166-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/cf7d6cca-5a7c-49c2-a637-f1ad0e089f6d.png?v=1780561568","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770002166-secondhand-revisionism-and-empire-socialist-imperialism-in-germany-1897-1914","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
