Random book from our personal library.
This is one of those books I had to add to our collection in solidarity with fellow workers, but also because it was about the English, was published by Penguin Classics, and, if I'm honest, because it was inexpensive.
pick3.5 Stars: Rating based on introduction and not actual manifesto. 80%+ is commentary on the (surprising to me) short manifesto by Marx. I found the introduction informative and it gave good backstory to what lead up to Marx‘s writing.
pickGreat analysis of the overthrow of bourgeois society by the people and its eventual suppression by the collusion of Prussia and the French government.
