Description
Throughout history, revolutions have been a potent force of social, economic and political change. The Encyclopedia of Revolutions and Revolutionaries: From Anarchism to Zhou Enlai is the first single-volume encyclopedia devoted to this significant historical phenomenon. Written by a team of international scholars, the book's more than 500 entries cover periods of unrest and change from antiquity to the present, including the Spartacus Revolt; the European Revolutions of 1848; China's Cultural Revolution; the American Revolution; the United Kingdom's Glorious Revolution of 1688; Mexico's Cristero Revolution of 1926-1929; and Russia's Revolutions in 1905 and 1917. Also profiled are the individuals who figured prominently in the tumultuous events of their time: Che Guevara in Cuba; Robespierre in France; Thomas Paine and Ethan Allen in the United States; Vaclav Havel in the Czech Republic; Benito Mussolini in Italy; Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam; Pancho Villa in Mexico; Mohandas Gandhi in India; and many more. Encompassing history and the world, The Encyclopedia of Revolutions and Revolutionaries brings to life the forms of revolutions and resistance movements undertaken to effect fundamental societal change; the non-violent and passive demonstrations that have transformed the world; and the intellectual and economic upheavals that have shaped human thought and institutions.
