The Communist Manifesto in the Revolutionary Politics of 1848 by David Ireland

This book examines why, on the eve of the pamphlets 175th anniversary, the Communist Manifesto left so faint an imprint on Europes most revolutionary year of 1848, when it has had such a huge impact on posterity.

“The Communist Manifesto in the Revolutionary Politics of 1848 provides the latest scholarly study of one of the most familiar political pamphlets from the nineteenth century.. . Ireland’s investigative approach sheds valuable light on the background context of the Manifesto and its immediate political aftermath. ... the book succeeds in challenging readers to consider unsettling questions about the Manifesto. ... Ireland stays true to his promise of sticking to the historical record.” (Igor Shoikhedbrod, History of Political Thought, Vol. 44 (3), 2023)
