Der Bauer im Klassenkampf Studien zur Geschichte des deutschen Bauernkrieges und der bauerlichen Klassenkampfe im Spatfeudalismus by Wolfgang Abendroth The book "Der Bauer im Klassenkampf" by Wolfgang Abendroth is a comprehensive study of the history of the German Peasants' War and the class struggles of peasants in the late feudal period. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the social, economic, and political factors that led to the uprising of the peasants against the ruling classes, and how these struggles shaped the course of modern history. The author begins by exploring the conditions of the peasants during the late feudal period, highlighting their poverty, oppression, and lack of rights. He examines the various forms of resistance and rebellion that emerged among the peasants, including the iconic Peasants' Revolt of 1525, which was a turning point in the struggle for social justice. The book also delves into the role of religion and ideology in shaping the consciousness of the peasants, and how these beliefs influenced their actions and demands. The author argues that the peasants were not just fighting for economic relief but also for a fundamental transformation of society, challenging the authority of the Church and the nobility.
