Editorials
From the Publisher
Praise for the previous edition:
"An authoritative and thorough re-creation of Marx's life and thought--and the interaction between the two...undoubtedly the best one-volume biography of the great man in existence."--Sunday Times
"It could be said that the biographers have only changed Marx in various ways; the point is to interpret him--and McLellan has filled a very real gap in doing this as fairly as he can...he has produced the most up-to-date, well-informed, reliable and sensible biography so far."--New Society
