The Anatomy Of Revolution Revisited

"Despite covering an enormous and highly contentious historiography for these revolutions, and covering hundreds of years of history, this book is deft, clear, and a good read. Bailey Stone is particularly good at working with the interna tional, religious/nationalist, and social forces behind every twist and turn of the detailed events. There is nothing else quite like it for telling the story of these three major revolutions in a comparative framework. This is an outstanding book, a worthy sequel to Crane Brinton."
-Jack A. Goldstone, Virginia E. and John T. Hazel, Jr., Professor of Public Policy and Eminent Scholar, School of Public Policy, George Mason University
"The Anatomy of Revolution Revisited is an ambitious effort to chart and analyze three major revolutions that defined the meaning of 'revolution' in the European political tradition. However, the purpose of the book is not to evince a standard model for the revolutionary process, nor is it to apply a ready-made one to the three upheavals under examination. Rather, as a work of comparative history, the book tells the 'story' of each revolution largely on its own terms. A thoughtful, sophisticated, and illuminating comparative study of three European revolutions that helped form the modern world, this book is a worthy successor to Crane Brinton's classic, The Anatomy of Revolution." -Thomas Kaiser,Professor of History, University of Arkansas at Little Rock
