The Communist Manifesto

One of the most influential pieces of political propaganda ever written, The Communist Manifesto is a summary of the whole Marxist vision of history and is the foundation document of the Marxist movement, published on the eve of the 1848 revolutions. The authors had been close collaborators since 1844, and the Manifesto is a condensed and incisive account of the world-view they had evolved during their hectic intellectual and political involvement of the previous few years. This new edition is edited with notes and an introduction by Professor Gareth Stedman Jones of King's College, Cambridge.
