Summary: "To produce a truly scholarly biography of Frederick Engels is not an easy undertaking. The story of his life is the glorious story of the workers' struggles against capitalism - from the first isolated, often spontaneous actions to the workers' growth into a formidable political force. It is the story of how the scientific theory of the workers' emancipation movement came into being, how it grew from the creed of a handful of advanced revolutionaries into the universally recognized theoretical foundation of the mass struggle for the reconstruction of society. To tell this story is the purpose of this book. its authors have tried to present the life and work of Frederick Engels as exhaustively as possible, shedding light on aspects of his life that have not been given due study in other literature - the specific aspects in the evolution of his materialistic and communist views, his role in founding the Communist League, his part in the First International, his work after Marx's death, his contribution to Marxist political economy, philosophy and historiography, etc. ..." - from authors' introduction.
