The Anatomy of RevolutionKnopf Doubleday Publishing Group, 12 août 1965 - 320 pages The definitive, hugely influential comparative history of the English, American, French and Russian revolutions from a renowned American scholar. "Classic" and "famous," The Anatomy of Revolution examines the patterns and processes that all revolutions share. "Such is [Professor Brinton's] wit and historical knowledge that what might have become a syllogistic hash in lesser hands turns out to be a keen and perceptive exposition and , like a well-conducted seminar, sets the mind of the reader racing off on its owns." --The New Yorker |
