1.		The Communist Manifesto: A Modern Edition from Verso Price: $10.88 Customer Review: The idea of this book is simple enough: it's Marx's and Engels' concept and plan for a totally fair society where everything is shared and everyone is (supposedly) equal.

2.	[no image]	The Age of Revolution from Cardinal 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.

It is a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.	[no image]	The Age of Extremes: A History of the World, 1914-1991 from Peter Smith Pub Inc Price: $27.58 Customer Review: I read this book for two reasons: 1) To better understand the Marxist mind, especially in light of the great Marxist defeats (or at minimum, setbacks) of the twentieth century, 2) To understand the profound influence Hobsbawm has had on the intellectual left and centre-left in modern politics.more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		Nations and Nationalism since 1780: Programme, Myth, Reality (Canto) from Cambridge University Press Price: $18.89 Customer Review: Hobsbawm takes issues the premise that the "nation" is the genesis of social groups. He writes, "Nations as a natural way of classifying men as an inherent political destiny is a myth" (10). Rather, he contends that a good deal of "social engineering" is involved in the creation of nations and the... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.	[no image]	The Condition of the Working Class in England: From Personal Observation and Authentic Sources (Academy Victorian Classics) from Academy Chicago Publishers Price: $12.00 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.

10.	[no image]	Bandits from Weidenfeld and Nicolson 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
