Book Synopsis
German Social Democracy through British Eyes uses diplomatic reports sent from Germany to Britain to document the rise of social democracy as well as efforts to repress it.

Trade Review
“Retallack has assembled a rich selection of reports written by British diplomats, most of whom were posted to Dresden, the Saxon capital. The bulk of them are from George Strachey, Britain’s envoy to Saxony from October 1873 to July 1897. Impressive in quality and range, they make for fascinating reading.” -- Jan Rüger, University of London * Journal of Modern History *
