The Civil War in the United States

The American Civil War so profoundly shaped Karl Marx and Frederick Engels’ understanding of social revolution and international politics that it marks a watershed moment in the history of communism as much as it does in the history of the United States. A complete revision of the 1937 edition of the Civil War writings of Marx and Engels, this volume incorporates new texts by Marx and Engels, as well as by U.S. authors, including Communist Union Army officer Joseph Weydemeyer and African American scholar-activist W.E.B. Du Bois. [Description from the publisher.] 254 pages By Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels International Publishers
