description: The book titled ""The Spartacist Uprising of 1919 and the Crisis of the German Socialist A Study of the Relation of Political Theory and Party Practice"" by Eric Waldman is a comprehensive analysis of the events that led to the Spartacist Uprising of 1919 in Germany. The book examines the relationship between political theory and party practice within the German socialist movement, and how this relationship ultimately led to the failure of the uprising.The author provides a detailed account of the political and social climate in Germany during the early 20th century, including the rise of socialism and the emergence of the Spartacist movement. He then delves into the internal struggles within the socialist movement, including debates over political strategy and the role of the party in revolutionary action.Waldman also explores the influence of Marxist theory on the German socialist movement, and how this theory was interpreted and applied by different factions within the movement. He argues that the failure of the Spartacist uprising was due in part to a lack of coherence and unity within the socialist movement, as well as a failure to effectively apply Marxist theory in practice.Overall, ""The Spartacist Uprising of 1919 and the Crisis of the German Socialist Movement"" provides a detailed and insightful analysis of a pivotal moment in German history, and sheds light on the complex relationship between political theory and party practice within socialist movements.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
