This is a relatively comprehensive look at the various left revolutionary movements and moments in post-WWI, pre-Nazi Germany. The scope of it, along with the writing style both make it fairly dry and rote in certain ways but the intruige of it all helps power you along.

It's very obviously written from a Trotskyist perspective that I don't particularly share. But moreso, it's style doesn't have a particularly compelling flow, often feeling like a list of events in search of a narrative. But it's hard for me to fault a document with as much useful content. It would certainly be a good starting point for research for a better written piece on the same subject matter.
