The Communist Manifesto is the most influential political book ever written - few other books can claim to have fundamentally changed the world, but after the Russian Revolution this book has become the key text for radicals the world over. Now, in the wake of a punishing financial crisis and on the centenary of the Revolution that it helped to spark, the book remains both an essential guide to the transformations wrought by capitalism - and offers the solution to its inequality and exploitation.
There have been many editions of this book before, but this is a beautifully presented hardback edition and with one key addition - as this book was established by the Russian Revolution it has been coupled with Lenin's April Theses as an attractive 'flip' book (i.e. turn the book upside down and you have another). These ten directives were presented by Lenin after he returned from exile in 1917, and are the key program for the revolution that was carried out that year.
It has a new introduction by acclaimed author Taqiq Ali, showing how the Russian Revolution changed the world and the horizon of political change, and why its ambition is still relevant today.
