Description
The classic history of the Paris Commune In 1871, the working class of Paris, incensed by their lack of political power and tired of beingexploited, seized control of the capital. This book is the outstanding history of the Commune, theheroic battles fought in its defence, and the bloody massacre that ended the uprising. Its author,Lissagaray, was a young journalist who not only saw the events recounted here first-hand, butfought for the Commune on the barricades. He spent the next show more twenty-five years researching andwriting this history, which refutes the slanders levelled at the Communards by the ruling classesand is a vivid and valuable study in urban political revolution, one that retains its power to inspireto this day.

This 1902 edition by T. Fisher Unwin lists only Lissagaray as the author (without first names). Nor does it give the original date of publication in French, or list the translator as Eleanor Marx, in 1886. I picked up those facts from the web. According the the Wikipedia article on Lissagaray, Marx assisted in the writing of the book. There was a revised and expanded French edition in 1896.
En marzo de 1871, la clase trabajadora de París, indignada por su falta de poder político y cansada de ser explotada, tomó el control de la capital. Este libro es la excepcional historia de la Comuna, de las heroicas batallas libradas en su defensa y de la sangrienta masacre que acabó con el levantamiento.
