#war credits

Do you know of any good books about the German SPD and (more specifically) its decision in choosing to support the German war effort in WWI? Mike Duncan dedicated an episode in his Revolutions podcast to the collapse of the Second Internationale, and I'm interested in learning more.

This is a great question! I'm going to dig through my reading lists and do some updating, because I have done a fair bit of reading on the SPD and to some extent on the War Credits issue.

Here's where I would start:

One Hundred Years of Socialism by Donald Sassoon. The classic text in the field, and has a very good account of the development of the SPD.

The work of Sheri Berman, who does comparative social democracy (with a particular focus on the German SPD and the Swedish SAP). Her two big books here are The Primacy of Politics and The Social Democratic Moment, but a lot of her articles will be useful.

Ostrowski's edited volumes of Eduard Bernstein's writings would be very useful, since Bernstein was one of the major intellectual forces in the SPD and wrote on the war credits issue.

Roger Fletcher's articles on Bernstein's foreign policy views are also probably useful here.

I suppose you should also read Hudis' edited volumes of Rosa Luxemburg's writings, since she was one of Bernstein's most trenchant critics - especially on the War Credits issue.

The Second International and the Question of War by Eve Pech, which I imagine Duncan had on his reading list.

Talbot Imlay's The Practice of Socialist Internationalism is also a good text for this question.

As someone whose job basically boils down to getting unglamorous but necessary things done behind the scenes, I’d love for us to spare a moment of appreciation for some truly unsung heroes of LOTR: the folks who supplied and supported a whole damn army on the move with only a few day’s notice.

The people who stocked and raised all the tents. Whoever was keeping soldiers in dry socks and sharpened swords. The folks (not Éowyn) who cooked the stews each night and cleaned up all the food. The person who had to make all the arrangements for thousands of horses to be kept in any kind of organized fashion with no barn or stable. The unhappy soul who had to dig and maintain the latrines anywhere the army was camped.

Logistics aren’t sexy, but damn are they important. Without them, half your army has dysentery and the other half is contemplating desertion. So good on these people—the victory over Sauron belongs to them, too.
