In this widely used text, students can trace the historical development of eleven revolutions using a five-factor analytical framework. Author James DeFronzo clearly explains all relevant concepts and events, the roles of key leaders, and the interrelation of each revolutionary movement with international economic and political developments and conflicts, including World Wars I and II, the Cold War, the War on Terror, and post Cold War contention among the U.S., the European Union, the Russian Federation and China. This revised and updated fifth edition includes a new chapter on the Arab Revolution from its beginning in December 2010 to the present. Multiple orienting maps, summary and analysis sections, and chronologies provide context for students, while suggested readings and documentary resources encourage further exploration. <BR>"The strengths, in my view, stem from the clear chronological overview that Defronzo provides of revolutionary movements and also the theoretical analysis he provides at the beginning as to the key factors which often precipitate revolutionary upsurges. He synthesizes a lot of scholarship on the topic and makes it accessible to undergraduates."<BR>Jeremy Kuzmarov, University of Tulsa <BR>"The book s strength lies in its sweeping historical survey of the most significant revolutions in the twentieth century. It is, by far, the most comprehensive in its coverage of cases and demonstrates the comparative method quite well."<BR>Michael Cairo, Transylvania University <BR>James DeFronzo is emeritus faculty of sociology at the University of Connecticut. His books include "The Iraq War: Origins and Consequences "(Westview Press) and the award-winning three-volume encyclopedia "Revolutionary Movements in World History," now available in more than 60 nations on six continents around the globe. He also is the author of numerous articles on political sociology, revolutionary movements, criminology, and social policy related to crime.<BR>"<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"I know of no more lucid analysis of revolution's role in remaking the modern world than James DeFronzo's <i>Revolutions and Revolutionary Movements</i>. By putting compelling portraits of specific revolutions into a global context, Professor DeFronzo helps college students and general readers alike anticipate revolutions to come and contemplate ways to deal with them. A comprehensive bibliography of print and other sources greatly enhances the value of this indispensable book."<br>--<b>P. Richard Bohr, College of St. Benedict's and St. John's University</b> <p/>"James DeFronzo provides an outstanding survey of twentieth-century revolutionary movements. This book broadly conceptualizes factors that led to these ruptures, and analyzes their significance and legacies. Its compelling interpretations make it an outstanding choice both for classes on modern revolutions as well as for general readers."<br>--<b>Marc Becker, Truman State University</b> <p/>"In <i>Revolutions and Revolutionary Movements</i>, James DeFronzo has provided an excellent overview of the complex subject of revolution in clear, concise language." <br>--<b>Mark N. Katz, Professor of Government and Politics, George Mason University</b><br><br>"Probably one of the major strengths of this text is the ability to present the issue of Islamic Fundamentalism in a coherent and scholarly format. The author does a great job of presenting this material without sinking into a discussion on religion or American foreign policy. The inclusion of this chapter and the ability to use this topic to illustrate aspects of structural theories of protest really sets this text apart from those that concentrate on a specific form of protest or only analyze the typical cases used in studies of political protest."<br>--<b>Steve Garrison, Midwestern State University</b> <p/>"This superbly accessible book offers a quick, comprehensive, and reliable treatment of modern revolutionary movements. . . . [it] is likely the best college-level survey of revolutionary movements.
