"This is a serious and accomplished synthesis....Biographical vignettes enliven the presentation of ideas, and references to studies of regional diversities...give the narrative and uncommonly rich texture....Lucid and illuminating....It is the best book on the subject to put into the hands of our students." -Helmut Gruber, International Labor and Working Class History "A synthetic narrative by a young academic scholar...who has independent ideas on an important subject....This book is worth reading if for no other reason than its modest, but nonpatronizing rehabilitation from generations of Marxist caricature of a host of deeply democratic European socialists." -James H. Billington, Washington Post Book World
