Ranging from an exploration of the English, French, and Russian revolutions and their treatment by revisionist historiography, to the debates and themes arising from attempts to downplay revolution's role in history, <i>History and Revolution </i>also engages with several prominent revisionist historians, including Orlando Figes, Conrad Russell and Simon Schama. <p/>This important book shows the inability of revisionism to explain why millions are moved to act in defence of political causes, and why specific political currents emerge, and is a significant reassertion of the concept of revolution in human development.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Praise for Mike Haynes' Russia: Class and Power "Haynes has managed simultaneously to capture the passion for change that motivated the original Bolshevik revolution with a coherent explanation of its long-term failure." -- Henry Reichman<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Mike Haynes </b>teaches history at the University of Wolverhampton, UK.
