This collection of essays on the Paris Commune of 1871 includes works by Marx, Freidrich Engels, Mikhail Bakunin, Peter Kropotkin, and Vladimir Lenin. Marx viewed the Commune as a confirmation of his theories, and his analysis, while self-serving, is brilliant. The contributions of the other writers are no less fascinating from a theoretical and historical standpoint.
