Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This book, first published in 1973, examines seven revolutionary
armies ranging from Cromwell’s New Model Army to the Red Army of
Mao Zedong. In each case it examines the mobilisation and
organisation of the army, and the need to balance political ideals
and aspirations with military cohesion and discipline, and social
stability. This book is an outstanding example of a study of the
relationship between the military and society, and shows that no
revolution can succeed without an organised army and that few such
armies can tolerate for long the ideology that created them.
In 1974, the Brazilian sports official Joao Havelange was elected
FIFA's president in a two-round election, defeating the incumbent
Stanley Rous. The story told by Havelange himself describes a
private odyssey in which the protagonist crisscrosses two thirds of
the world canvassing for votes and challenging the institutional
status quo. For many scholars, Havelange's triumph changed FIFA's
(International Federation of Football Association) identity,
gradually turning it into a global and immensely wealthy
institution. Conversely, the election can be analyzed as a
historical event. It can be thought of as a political window by
means of which the international dynamic of a specific moment in
the Cold War can be perceived. In this regard, this book seeks to
understand which actors were involved in the election, how the
networks were shaped, and which political agents were directly
engaged in the campaign.
