One that you might like is The Austrian Revolution by Otto Bauer.

Otto Bauer's magisterial work, available in English for the first time,

is the definitive examination of Eastern Europe's revolutionary period

and the unique working-class experiment of Red Vienna.

This epic history charts the evolution of three simultaneous,

overlapping revolutionary waves, which took place in Eastern Europe

in the midst of the decline and fall of an empire,

the devastation of the First World War,

and the transformation of global politics in the wake of the Russian Revolution.

Bauer provides the unique exploration of both the internal dynamics of a revolution

and the costs of defeat, as well as a rich introduction to Austro-Marxism.
