The article focuses on the book "The Second International, 1889-1914," vol. 3 by G.D.H. Cole. The era of the Second International was one of hope and progress for the socialist movement. Many of its national segments grew rapidly, an influential press was established; in a number of countries socialism won a strong parliamentary position. Trade unionism, usually linked to political socialism, was also growing. It was a period of great strikes which in some cases were for political rather than industrial ends.
