War of the Classes (Paperback)

1905. American writer (real name John Griffith London). London grew up in poverty, earning a living through various legal and illegal means. He was a sailor and took part in the Klondike gold rush. The Call of the Wild, the classic story of sled-dog Buck brought him instant celebrity and established his readership to this day. Self-educated, London was heavily influenced by the works of Darwin, Marx, and Nietzsche. This, along with his earlier experiences converted him to socialism as he explains in this volume. Contents: The Class Struggle; The Tramp; The Scab; The Question of the Maximum; A Review; Wanted: A New Law of Development; and How I Became a Socialist.
