'Successive waves of revolutions formed the modern world, but world history has strikingly failed to treat those revolutions comprehensively – until now. This rich collection illuminatingly surveys the world of revolutions from the late eighteenth century to the Arab Spring. It should set the global history of revolutions on a new path by raising as many fertile questions as it answers: a major achievement.' David Armitage, author of Civil Wars: A History in Ideas
