Allan Todd provides a lucid exploration of the main features of revolutions: the economic, social, political and ideological developments prior to revolution, and the roles and actions of crowds, parties, women and counter-revolutionaries. Particular attention is paid to the French Revolution of 1789, and the 1848 Revolutions, the 1871 Paris Commune and the Russian Revolution of 1917. Revolutions is a title in the new Cambridge Perspectives in History series for advanced level and undergraduate history students. Each title provides coverage of major topic in British or European history, supported by a range of original sources.
