J. Jemnitz THE DANGER OF WAR AND THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL 1911 (Studia Historica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae 84) This work introduces in detail the attitude of the socialists in differ­ent countries and the various trends within a country concerning war, before World War I. The book relies on protocols of congresses, press-material and letters of Hyn­­man, Quelch, A. Labriola and H. Müller published for the first time by the author on the basis of the material of the Amsterdam Ar­chives. The author analyzes in detail the relation of the working class move­ment to the 1911 Moroccan war crisis and to the Italian—Turkish war. He also presents what efforts the working people made to re­strain the war movements of their governments, parallelly it is out­lined that nationalist tendencies also manifested themselves in the working class movement causing much anxiety. By elaborating the year of 1911 in detail, the author helps us to un­derstand why the International failed in 1914. AKADÉMIAI KIADÓ PUBLISHING HOUSE OF THE HUNGARIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES BUDAPEST
