What is Revolutions and Revolutionaries about?

From the fall of the Bastille to the storming of the Winter Palace in Moscow, Europe has been rocked by violent upheavals and dominated by insurrections. But why were some revolutions successful while others failed?Taylor examines Chartism, the British revolution that never was, before looking at the social and national revolutions of 1848 when European history, in Trevelyan's phrase, reached its turning point and failed to turn. In 1917 the Bolshevik seizure of power seemed to presage a new wave of revolutions but outside Russia the revolutionary impulse in Europe flagged and died. And now the inheritors of Europe's revolutionary tradition are to be found in other continents.Revolutions and Revolutionaries is a brilliant study of one of the great themes of history by one of the greatest writers on the subject.Praise for A.J.P.
