History of the Paris Commune of 1871 - by Prosper-Olivier Lissagaray

This eyewitness account by the revolutionary socialist Lissagaray—who fought on the barricades during the 72-day uprising—provides a detailed, partisan chronicle of the Paris Commune's origins, key events, internal debates, and brutal suppression by Versailles forces in May 1871, resulting in thousands killed. Drawing on survivor testimonies and documents, it critiques the Commune's disorganization and idealism while celebrating its democratic experiments in workers' self-governance, profoundly influencing Karl Marx, who endorsed its English translation by his daughter Eleanor in 1886.
