1.		The Communist Manifesto: A Modern Edition from Verso Price: $7.75 Customer Review: Karl Marx could have made a fortune in the film industry with his brothers. Instead he decided to capitalise upon his crazy idea that people should all be equal. This is nonsense. In life there are people who are rich and people who are poor. People who are tall and people who are short. People who... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		The Age of Empire 1875-1914 from Peter Smith Publisher Price: $106.36 Customer Review: In THE AGE OF EMPIRE, Eric Hobsbawm completes his trilogy of 19th century European history, and as with his many other works, with a Marxist view. In his books that deal with 20th century Western history, Hobsbawm's socialist leanings are obtrusive and contradictory. His overarching theme is that... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.	[no image]	The Age of Extremes: A History of the World, 1914-1991 from Peter Smith Pub Inc Price: $26.80 Customer Review: I won't spend too much time on this review because I don't think it's really worth my time. There's a major contradiction between the title and the introduction that had a significant impact on how I feel about the book. In the title, it reads "A History of the World, 1914-1991." Then in his... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.	[no image]	The Age of Revolution: 1789-1848 from Peter Smith Pub Inc Price: $26.40 Customer Review: Neither textbook nor narrative, Hobsbawm's classic is an interpretive essay whose many insights, expressed in memorable style, continue to stimulate and inspire. He abandoned Stalinism long ago, and his nuanced Marxism sympathizes with workers, peasants and rebels, which still seems to provoke some... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		Nations and Nationalism since 1780: Programme, Myth, Reality (Canto) from Cambridge University Press Price: $16.34 Customer Review: According to the book "Nations and Nationalism since 1780" by Professor Hobsbawm, the national feelings of people will fade and, eventually, disappear. Nation-states, the 18th-19th century creation of European cultural elites, will cease to exist. The erudite knowledge and masterful manipulation of... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.	[no image]	The Age of Capital, 1848-1875 from Peter Smith Pub Inc Customer Review: In THE AGE OF CAPITAL, British Marxist historian Eric Hobsbawm focuses his attention on the slow then sudden expansion of capitalism in Europe and in the United States. What one notices in this and in his other books on Western history is that his animus toward capitalism and his approbation of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.	[no image]	The Condition of the Working Class in England: From Personal Observation and Authentic Sources (Academy Victorian Classics) from Academy Chicago Publishers Price: $5.50 Customer Review: For most, Charles Dickens is the only source we've encountered regarding the awful human misery of the early industrial revolution. However, Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx reported on it, too. Indeed, most of their criticisms were far more applicable to the raw capitalism of contemporary England... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		Interesting Times: A Twentieth-Century Life (Lives of the Left) from New Press, The Price: $7.39 Customer Review: It is truly a pity a Nobel Prize for History has never been made, because surely Eric Hobsbawm would deserve it, and considering his age it may well soon be too late. Hobsbawm (originally Hobsbaum) is one of the world's greatest living historians, author of a series of popular as well as highly... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.	[no image]	Industry and Empire: From 1750 to the Present Day from Peter Smith Pub Inc Customer Review: Industry and Empire is a rare book that incorporates both a economic historical perspective and a political perspective, both on the English scene and on the world scene. What you'll find in this book is a combination of a narrative of how exactly the industrial revolution started in Britain, how it... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.	[no image]	Bandits from Littlehampton Book Services (LBS) Customer Review: While this book does cover several aspects of banditry, it does not concentrate on one specific geographical area and therefore makes global conclusions. These conclusions are not always accurate, I feel.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
