Virtually everything Marx and Engels ever wrote on labor strikes
and trade unions has been collected in this volume for the first
time. It includes vivid, often eyewitness accounts of many of the
greatest strikes and labor struggles of the last century. This
original and valuable collection challenges the prevailing
assumption that Marx and Engels cared little for trade unions and
their role in the transition to socialism or that they had little
practical involvement with unions. Lapides illuminates the immense
part personally played by Marx and Engels in helping to establish
the modern labor movement. Covering the period 1844-1894, the book
features graphic and moving portrayals of contemporary labor
stuggles, candid personal views of various labor leaders, biting
polemics against socialist rivals, and eloquent passages. Lapides
provides an introduction that places the excerpts in historical and
theoretical context.
