Look at the section about the revolution. Fitzpatrick is a liberal though so be careful when reading her.

we have to learn from the comrades of the past and their efforts

E.H. Carr's History of Soviet Russia in a lot of volumes. As it is very connected, he goes through the German revolution atempt as well

Fanshen is also pretty good, it focuses on a single village between 1945-7 (I think). There are plenty of interviews with the peasants and cadres. Hinton does a good job explaining the successes, excesses, and failures of various stages of the revolution.

The Prophet Armed, Deutscher

Very fun read, gives good context for the situation that led to the Russian Revolution, and also the immediate decisions that were made, and kind of gets into all of that stuff (it's a biography of Trotsky btw - he also did a biography on Lenin and Stalin).

Also: Twenty Years in Underground Russia: Memoirs of a Rank-and-File Bolshevik – Cecilia Bobrovskaya

I hear it's good, I havent read it and don't have a pdf.

Don't forget Trotsky's own History of the Russian Revolution. It's really, really fucking good. Each chapter is written as an in-the-moment narrative, then at the end of each chapter Trotsky gives a breakdown of all the theoretical lessons. The book perpetuates some myths about the revolution and especially Lenin's April Theses, but I don't care because it's just such a page turner. Definitely Trotsky's best work.

I wanna revive this thread and refocus it on the German Revolution. For those of us in the in the imperial core, I think that it is a shame that the German revolution isn't as studied as either the Russian or Chinese revolutions. This is due to that fact that the material conditions in Germany at the time more closely match those in the imperial core. For example, Germany was a very urbanized and developed capitalist power, with it's own sphere or influence and it's own colonial empire. It also had a well developed parliamentary system, even if it was hampered by the power of the Junkers. Linked below is a good primer for the topic on youtube. I'll be going through the bibliography and finding e-books of the cited works for my own study. As I find them, I'll post them here.
