On Revolution by Hannah Arendt
Tracing the gradual evolution of revolutions, Arendt predicts the changing relationship between war and revolution and the crucial role such combustive movements will play in the future of international relations. She looks at the principles which underlie all revolutions, starting with the first great examples in America and France, and showing how both the theory and practice of revolution have since developed. Finally, she foresees the changing relationship between war and revolution and the crucial changes in international relations, with revolution becoming the key tactic.
“Arendt’s admirers will welcome her excursion into the relatively neglected field of comparative revolutionShe is never dull, enormously erudite, always imaginative, original and full of insights.” —The Sunday Times (London)
