Overview

Tracing the gradual evolution of revolutions since the American and French examples, Arendt predicts the changing relationship between war and revolution and the crucial role such combustive movements will play in the future of international relations.

Three classic revolutions--American, French and Russioan are examined for underlying principles. The theory and practice of subsequent revolutions is discussed.
