In vivid detail, the biographer of Karl Marx here tells the story of the German sociologist's 20-year struggle to complete his unfinished masterpiece. The first volume of Das Kapital was published in 1867, to muted praise. But after Marx's death, the book went on to influence thinkers, writers, and revolutionaries from George Bernard Shaw to Lenin, and changed the political course of the 20th century.
