Synopsis

This book explores the dramatic split within the Socialist International following the First World War. The author traces the origins of this division back to the pre-war period, highlighting the growing differences between reformist and revolutionary socialist factions. The book examines the various attempts to reconcile these differences, including the Zimmerwald Conference and the Stockholm Conference, but ultimately concludes that the Russian Revolution of 1917 proved to be the decisive catalyst for a permanent break. The book then delves into the formation of the Second and Third Internationals, outlining their respective ideologies and organizational structures. The author provides a detailed account of the key events, figures, and debates surrounding each International, including the significant Berne and Amsterdam Conferences of the Second International, and the founding Congress of the Third International in Moscow. The book sheds light on the intense ideological battles and political struggles that characterized the socialist movement in the aftermath of the war, offering a unique perspective on the evolving landscape of international socialism.
