First published in 1985. Revolution has been often defined, often
abused as a descriptive term for elements of the political process.
This book analyses the concept of revolution, and discusses ways in
which this concept has changed from Aristotle to the late
twentieth-century. The historical circumstances which have shaped
the idea and caused it to change are outlined. Special attention is
given to the Marxist tradition and to modernisation theory. The
case studies comprise the Soviet Union since the Bolshevik
Revolution, Nazi Germany 1933-45, China from about 1920, the
struggle for political independence and economic development in
Guinea-Bissau since the 1950s and the significance of the 1968
explosion in France. This book is intended for undergraduate
students of history and politics. The emphasis is placed on the
interpretation of political events and ideas. The book also seeks
to introduce the vital contribution that can be made to the study
of revolution by other disciplines like sociology and philosophy.
