Marx's political thought as its best, April 20, 2000
This review is from: The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte (Paperback)
Many consider this work as Marx's best effort towards political philosophy. While the Communist Manifesto and the Critique os the Gotha Programme are also classics in marxian political thought, this books presents the best and most profound theoretical analysis. Just as the two panphlets above mentioned, this one came up as an "writing of occasion", but more than a pamphlet this is a book, and a classical one. If the Manifesto should be the gateway to marxian political thought, the Brumaire is the book for those who wish to deepen their knowledge on marxian political conceptions. A must for anyone concerned with politics in general.

good stuff, February 13, 2010
This review is from: The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte (Paperback)
Must read, gives the basic tools to understand history. Slow going at times, but buckle down and do it. This is a specific case study of how, if you "follow the money", the driving forces of events become clear and the most absurd happenings make sense.
