First published in London in 1848, "The Communist Manifesto" is a work of literary power as well as historical insight. This paperback edition is prepared to mark the publication's 150th anniversary, and includes: a new foreword by Marxist scholar Paul Sweezy; the full text of "The Communist Manifesto" in a hand-set typeface; "Principles of Communism", which was drafted in 1847 by Engels as a basis for the "Manifesto"; and "The Communist Manifesto After 150 Years" - an interpretative essay by Ellen Meiksins Wood.

Foreword by: Paul M. Sweezy
