»Simon Schaupp’s most exquisite German-language book on the Munich revolution of 1918/19 is a diary of three anarchists – Erich Mühsam, Hilde Kramer and Ernst Toller. […] Schaupp’s diary on Bavaria’s revolution is divided into five parts. Part one starts with the ›January strikes‹ organized by Munich’s workers following the revolutionary sailors uprising in Kiel (Nov. 4, 1918). […] With the end of the revolution, Bavaria was run by a reactionary military junta preparing for a nation-wide uprising. […] This is where Simon Schaupp’s enthralling diary of the three revolutionaries of Bavaria’s council republic – Erich Mühsam, Hilde Kramer and Ernst Toller – ends.« – Thomas Klikauer, asr: Anarcho-Syndicalist Review, Nr. 74 Sommer 2018
