Whilst scanning in the last of the July 1954 issue of the Socialist Standard, I noticed that one of the earliest articles from that issue on the blog was from Bill Waters' Backwaters of History series of articles which appeared in the Socialist Standard over the course of 1953 and 1954. In eleven self-contained pieces, Waters' surveyed class struggle through via key historical events. From the Peasant Rebellion of 1381 through to Barcelona in the midst of the Spanish Civil War, and a lot more in-between..
Anyway, I thought it would be a good excuse to list them again on the blog in case people missed them first time round:
- Sep 1953: The Diggers' (English Civil War)
- Oct 1953: The Babeuf Conspiracy
- Dec 1953: The German Spartacists
- Jan 1954: Civil War in Austria
- Feb 1954: Peasant Rebellion 1381
- Mar 1954: English Naval Mutinies 1797
- Apr 1954: The Paris Commune
- Jun 1954: Münzer and the Thuringian Revolt
- Jul 1954: The Knights of Labour
- Aug 1954: Barcelona 1937
- Oct 1954: The Tolpuddle Martyrs
