Takes a representative cross-section of the most significant upheavals of the century and puts them in an analytic perspective. The result is a compact handbook of revolution encompassing theory, history, cultural diversity and connections to current and future events.

A definite must for anyone interested in the field of revolutionary movements/political science. The book provides succinct yet fact-packed discussions on the origins and aftermaths of some of the most predominant revolutions of the 20th Century including Russia, China, Iran, and Cuba as well as several others. As a former student of Dr. Defronzo at UCONN I have found the book invaluable in my studies of History and Political Science.
