The Condition of the Working Class in England by Friedrich Engels

Reading all of the history is important if you’re the kind of person who wants to see how someone gets to the conclusions they have come to. Engels lays it out in a detailed manner. There are great snippets in the length section of “the proletariat” but you could probably get away with reading the introduction, the social murder section of the proletariat, “working class movements”, “attitude of the bourgeoisie” and “the conclusion” if you want an overview of Engels since the history is dense and time consuming.
