Marx and Engels on the Trade Unions

In this volume virtually everything Marx and Engels ever wrote on strikes and trade unions has been collected for the first time. It includes vivid often eyewitness accounts of many of the greatest strikes and labor struggles of the 19th century. It also illuminates the part personally played by Marx and Engels in helping to establish the modern labor movement and dispels any notion that the founders of Marxism failed to provide a comprehensive theory of trade unionism. An introduction and explanatory notes provide helpful background information.
