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.

Karl Marx (1818-1883) was a German political philosopher, writer, and revolutionary. With Friedrich Engels (1820-1895), he wrote The Communist Manifesto (1848), perhaps the most influential political tract since The Declaration of Independence. Living in England, he composed his masterpiece, Das Kapital (1867-94), a comprehensive history and critique of capitalism.
