Karl Marx 
The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte 

’The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte’ is one of Karl Marx’ most profound and most brilliant monographs. It may be considered the best work extant on the philosophy of history, with an eye especially upon the history of the Movement of the Proletariat, together with the bourgeois and other manifestations that accompany the same, and the tactics that such conditions dictate.
