Friedrich Engels & Karl Marx 
Revolution and Counter-Revolution [EPUB ebook] 

The following articles are now, after forty-five years, for the first time collected and printed in book form. They are an invaluable pendant to Marx’s work on the coup d’état of Napoleon III. (’Der Achtzehnte Brumaire des Louis Bonaparte.’) Both works belong to the same period, and both are what Engels calls 'excellent specimens of that marvellous gift … of Marx … of apprehending clearly the character, the significance, and the necessary consequences of great historical events at a time when these events are actually in course of taking place, or are only just completed.’
