In 1848, Europe was engulfed in a firestorm of revolution. The
streets of cities from Paris to Bucharest and from Berlin to
Palermo were barricaded and flooded by armed insurgents proclaiming
political liberties and national freedom. The conservative order
which had held sway since the fall of Napoleon in 1815 crumbled
beneath the revolutionary assault. This book narrates the
breathtaking events which overtook Europe in 1848, tracing
brilliantly their course from the exhilaration of the liberal
triumph, through the fear of social chaos to the final despair of
defeat and disillusionment. The failures of 1848 would scar
European history with the contradictions of authoritarianism and
revolution until deep into the twentieth century.
