Description

Through her long involvement in the German Communist party, Ruth Fischer amassed valuable material on its changing fortunes, the transformation of the Bolshevik party into a totalitarian dictatorship, and the degeneration of the Comintern. Drawing on this material and on her own vivid recollections, Fischer reconstructs the history of the German Communist party from 1918 to 1929. First published in 1948, this fundamental work opened up the study of the inner organizational life of a major revolutionary movement. The Routledge edition includes an introduction reviewing the book's historical significance and enduring relevance to understanding twentieth-century political movements and communist party development.

Key Features

Ruth Fischer's Stalin and German Communism provides firsthand insight into the German Communist party's history spanning 1918 to 1929 based on her direct party involvement.

This Routledge edition reconstructs the transformation of the Bolshevik party into a totalitarian dictatorship and the Comintern's degeneration during a critical historical period.

Originally published in 1948, this foundational history opened new scholarly study of how major revolutionary movements operated internally and organised their membership.

The book draws on Fischer's vivid personal recollections combined with valuable documentary material she collected throughout her years of Communist party participation.
