Summary: "The author's aim, we are told, is not to write a history of the "interpreta­tions" of the Commune nor a defense of the movement. Rather, it is to revive the facts as they were known to contemporaries, notably to Karl Marx; to restore "the background to the Civil war in France and to Lenin's elaboration of it, The state and revolution" (p. 15) ... [The work contains] informative passages on the structure of the Commune itself; the composition, mutations, and func­tions of its various committees; its relation to the Central Committee of the National Guard; the. apparently insuperable problem of effective military di­rection. The work is based on a wide study of the printed materials, as well as on manuscript sources from the Archives of the Ministry of War, the Archives Nationales, the Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow, etc." -- Book Review by Donald C. McKay in The Journal of Modern History, Volume 9, Number 4.
