SynopsisMarx and Engels' views on war, revolution and the relation between the two evolved over time in response to the turbulent political and military history of the nineteenth centurey. The result has been that anyone can select a text to prove that Marx and Engels held the author's position. The solution is to review the statements of Marx and Engels in their historical context., Marx and Engels' views on war, revolution and the relation between the two exolved over time in response to the turbulent political and military history of the nineteenth centurey. The result has been widespread confusion among historians and in the socialist movement. The tendency has been to search for quotes which will buttress the writer's own views and exhibit it as "what Marx said." This book tries to clear up the confusion and misrepresentation.
