August 24, 2009 -- Socialist
Voice -- Most people on the left know that Friedrich Engels was co-author
of the Communist Manifesto
and Karl Marx’s
lifelong collaborator. But few of today’s radicals know

much more than that about the man who built barricades and fought a

guerrilla war in Germany in the 1848-49 revolution, the
indefatigable
organiser who played a decisive role in building the
Marxist current
from a handful of exiles in the 1850s into the
dominant trend in the
international working-class movement by the
time of his death in 1895.
