This book represents a valuable contribution to the history of the
Socialist Second International and, more generally, of European
socialism between the Great Depression of the 1880s and WWI. It
comes to fill a gap in the scholarship, insofar as it investigates
the history of the Socialist Youth International. During the first
phase of the making of socialist parties, this organization was in
charge of the political and cultural education of the proletarian
youth. Capitalizing on an approach based on social, quantitative
and political history, and on an analysis of mentalities and
languages, the book reconstructs the many-sidedness of the
“school of recruits” of the social-democratic and revolutionary
movements. The working conditions of youth in Europe, its
unionization and economic struggles, the fight against militarism,
the pedagogical work, the internationalism and the commitment to
maintain peace, and the attitude of young militants towards
Bolshevik revolution are some of the themes investigated in the
book. It also clarifies the role and the engagement with the issue
of the new generation shown by prominent figures of Marxism such as
Karl Liebknecht, Jean Jaurès, Henri De Man, Willi Münzenberg,
Henriette Roland Holst, and Robert Danneberg. Finally, the book
constitutes also a page of European social and political history,
reconstructed through the history of the various youth socialisms
and their relationship with the Marxist tradition.
