[Marxism] history

[Andrew Pollack <acpollack2@xxxxxxxxx>]

I want to second the Abendroth recommendation. It was one of the first  things 
I read to give me a sense of the broader history of the labor  and radical 
movements. And reading it while reading my very first Marx,  Lenin, etc. helped 
me understand what they were referring to.
  I remember after that reading a much longer history, again of the  European 
working class and socialism, which although written by a  fairly moderate 
social-dem had some great tidbits, like the scene in  the German revolution 
where the masses stood waiting all day for  leadership that never came (or 
maybe Abendroth has that anecdote too?).
  P.S. Has anyone written an Abendroth-style work (i.e. short but  
comprehensive) on working-class movement history which incorporates the  Third 
World?
