That book was written by Vladimir Lenin, who split Russia into several states, forming the Soviet Union.
Imperialism, according to most proponents of its causes, is the final stage of advanced capitalism. There was no advanced capitalism until the end of the 19th century. Even Adam Smith wrote about capitalism only in the late 18th century. Smith had no predictions on how capitalism might develop into imperialism.
"If it was necessary to give the briefest possible definition of imperialism, we should have to say that imperialism is the monopoly stage of capitalism," Lenin wrote. So as competition on the national level was reduced through mergers, bankruptcies and the tendency toward monopoly, it became increasingly ferocious internationally. Business required the organized power and resources of the state to secure their interests.
Not so much. Capitalism as we know it was just starting to develop at that time, since then it has matured and is now in it's final stage of historical development, ie. it is now characterised by monopoly, imperialism and financialisation. Smith wrote about capitalism when it was just in it's infancy and had little idea of what capitalism would like like in say 100 years. Quite unlike Marx, Capital is probably more relevant now than it was in the mid-late 1800's, Smith is not very relevant anymore.
In 1915, Lenin drew heavily on the writing of the military ideas of Clausewitz. Especially the areas where Clausewitz wrote about the political side of warfare. In Lenin's work titled Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, Lenin speaks about his theory of wold politics using Clausewitz's ideas. Based on this, cynics claim that Lenin regarded the masses as mere objects for skilled political manipulation.Many hold the view that the Marxist intellectuals created the Bolshevik revolution, and the masses needed intellectual leadership to gain their fair share of political power.
Victor Hugo wrote the novel. Claude-Michel Schonberg and Alain Boublil wrote the music for the stage adaptation. Herbert Kretzmer wrote the English lyrics for the stage adaptation.
Nobody 'wrote' it. And capitalism existed before and after those dates.

The fall of multi-class capitalism and its replacement with single-class communism.
The Communist Manifesto was written in response to the injustices of capitalism. Karl Marx wrote it in 1848 because he felt that the haves and have-nots classes might clash due to capitalism.
Arguably, Adam Smith is a philosopher and economist who wrote the book Wealth of Nations that expounds on the earlier forms of Capitalism. John Stuart Mill is another philosopher who supported the free-market. W.V. Quine is not a philosopher of capitalism but he personally favored fiscal conservatism.
