In the area around Leipzig, workers supported the revolution with unusual determination, in many cases seeking to socialize their companies on their own authority. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the first book to devote serious scholarly attention to Leipzig's turbulent transition from authoritarian monarchy to democratic republic, Sean Dobson offers a cogent history of political change in what was one of Germany's most industrialized and politically radical districts. During most of the post-WWII period, only Leninist historians--following the strict ideological guidelines dictated by the Socialist Unity Party of the German Democratic Republic--were permitted access to the relevant archives. With the fall of the Berlin Wall, Dobson gained unprecedented access to those archives. His study tells the real story of what happened in one of the revolution's storm centers and enriches the larger theoretical discussion of class and identity formation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBecause the turmoil in and around Leipzig is incomprehensible without an understanding of the region before 1914, Dobson details the antecedents of the revolution. In the process, he challenges common historiographical assumptions about prewar and wartime Germany.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sean Dobson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231120761\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231120760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/18\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.31d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2001 pg. 33","brand":"Sean Dobson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46807244210431,"sku":"9780231120760","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_033ca53a-c071-40d7-945a-c94b59a2783e.jpg?v=1745378925","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/authority-and-upheaval-in-leipzig-sean-dobson-9780231120760","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
