Instead of focusing exclusively on what Marx and Bakunin said, many other contributions to this debate are examined, making this the first reconstruction of a dispute that gripped the entire organization. This book also provides the first detailed account of the International’s Congress of The Hague (September, 1872); including the background, the sequence of events, andinternational reaction. The book sets new standards when it comes to sourcematerial, taking into account documents from numerous archives and libraries that have previously gone unnoticed or were completely unknown.
