description: Using eyewitness accounts, reportage photography, and contemporary paintings to capture the spirit of revolution, Mark Almond examines the causes, events, and often colossal repercussions of each revolution. The book opens with a discussion of all aspects of revolution in general and looks at the ideologies and personalities of the great revolutionaries (and in their quarrels with one another), the romance and language of revolution, and its terrible human cost, before looking in turn at each of the great revolutions that have defined their time. Taking a unique, themed approach to history, Revolution is a compelling read for anyone interested in our turbulent past.
