This is the second edition of ``Analytic pro-\(p\) groups which has been prepared by the second and the forth authors [for a review of the first ed. (1991) see Zbl 0744.20002]. The third author contributed Appendix A. New is mainly part III of the book consisting of Chapters 10-13. The additions from the first and second parts are \S\S~5.4, 6.5, 6.6, 7.4 and Interlude A. Chapter 10 gives an account of the theory of pro-\(p\) groups of finite coclass. The theory is central to the classification of finite \(p\)-groups. The authors give a self-contained account of that part of the theory that relates to pro-\(p\) groups. The next two chapters discuss the dimension subgroup series in finitely generated pro-\(p\) groups. Chapter 12 investigates the graded restricted Lie algebra associated with dimension series. The theorems of Jennings and of Lazard, about dimension subgroups and about the coefficients in the `Golod-Shafarevich series' of a finitely generated pro-\(p\) group are proved. The next two interludes give applications of Lazard's Theorem on the Golod-Shafarevich series: Interlude D is devoted to the famous Golod-Shafarevich inequality; Interlude E presents Grigorchuk's theorem about groups with growth function \(f(n)<2^{\sqrt n}\). Chapter 13 is concerned with pro-\(p\) groups analytic over local rings. Here basic concepts and results are given. Many new exercises have been added and the bibliography has been updated and expanded.
