 THE CIVIL WAR IN FRANCE By Karl Marx With an Introduction by Frederick Engels

Of this book Lenin says: “It shows us that during the Paris Commune the political form was at last discovered through which must be worked out the final economic emancipation of labor, namely, The Di of the Proletariat.” Engels’ introduction sketches the economic his- tory of France from 1848 to 1871. Marx tells the true story of the Commune which ruled Paris from March 18 to May 21, 1871, and answers magnificently the calumnies of reactionaries who first massacred the Communards and then tried to blacken their memories. Paper, 25 cents, Cloth, with the Communist Manifesto, 60 cents.
