The cover price is £10 for commercial sales. Bulk orders will be available at a slightly lower price. Socialist Party branches will be able to use the price difference on sales to raise fighting fund.

This is a timely re-publication. The decay and decadence of the 18th century French ruling class which was overthrown in the French Revolution of 1789 has clear parallels with the MPs’ expenses scandal and the discrediting of today’s ‘political class’.

An understanding of the French Revolution remains crucial for all revolutionaries. Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky studied it intensely to gain an understanding of the dynamics of revolutions.
