<b>Sweeping comparative history from leading historian of big ideas with books on socialism, capitalism and European culture.</b><br><br><i>Revolutions</i> is a sparkling account of political upheaval and the power of history. We think of revolutions as events, like the Fall of the Bastille or the Storming of the Winter Palace. In reality they take decades to burn out, if they ever do. Donald Sassoon engagingly reappraises some of the most celebrated. The English Civil War that killed a king and inaugurated parliamentary rule. The American War of Independence that ejected the British but ignored slavery. The French Revolution that gave us the Rights of Man and years of instability. The national revolutions that unified Italy and Germany. The Russian and Chinese Revolutions that changed the twentieth century. He adroitly compares these landmarks to the rebellions, coups and tumults that time forgot.<br><br>It is a history rich in irony. How Yankee Doodle Dandy was first sung by English troopers to make fun of dishevelled American colonials. How revolution became a word <i>de jour</i>, when no one has convincingly defined what it means. As Sassoon shows in this <i>tour de force</i> account, they usually catch revolutionaries themselves by surprise… and the consequences of them are difficult to fathom. <i>Revolutions</i> will change the way you think about the transformative moments in history, both big and small.
