Book Description
This volume is a collection of Historical Writings of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels. All of them were written immediately after the events of which they treat. They contain a masterly analysis of the historical events of the time. On the basis of concrete material, Marx gives striking examples of the materialist explanation of history. Each one of these works is a masterly historical investigation. But the theoretical analysis of the events does not by any means exhaust the significance of these historical works. Marx’s work as historical investigator is intimately bound up with the practical struggle of the proletariat. Marx was not only a scientific investigator, he was above all the leader of the proletariat, the leader of its vanguard—the Communist Party. Historical research and a scientific explanation of the facts of the class struggle provide the foundation for the strategy and tactics of the proletarian party, the party that leads the struggle of the proletariat for power, for the overthrow of the bourgeoisie, for the complete transformation of society. Materials for study of Marx’s activity as leader of the Party will also be found by the reader in the Party documents and letters that are included in the present volume. The writings and documents collected in this edition give the reader sufficient material for studying the foundations of the theory and policy of scientific communism as created and developed by Marx and Engels.
