Focusing on the evolution of European socialism, this text examines its roots in the industrial and democratic revolutions of the eighteenth century. The updated edition features a new preface addressing the 2016 American election, revised bibliographies, and two additional chapters, along with an afterword, enriching the exploration of socialism's relevance in contemporary society.

Confronting Hitler examines the lives of ten socialist leaders in their fight against Nazism. It reveals the aspects of these people's lives that most decisively shaped their views and actions during the Weimar Republic's final crisis, and it compares the German socialist experience of 1933 with those of other democratic socialist movements in the twentieth century.
