Clean and unmarked cover in black and white strips with red black and white revolutionary flag. Slight wear to extremities soundly bound with all pages intact. Pages quite clean no underlining or highlighting no markings of any kind.

One of the purposes of this book is to explain why this transition took the form of revolution even the 'invention' of revolution. The shock of 1789 spread throughout the world so new was the idea that revolution could solve human problems. Palmer explores this whole idea of revolution and its effect. He delves deeply into the European world as a whole before 1789 to help understand the waves of revolution. In his concluding chapter full of challenge and value he touches on what he calls the inheritance of the French Revolution and the various myths about it . He discusses both sides of every contention favored by warring schools of historians. 282 pages with index. 8 x 5.25 inches. 1972 Harper & Row USA Harper & Row paperback
