[Eve Lyons · Rating 5 out of 5]

I found this book in a thriftstore awhile back, and I continue to refer to it often. It provides a brief analysis of every significant revolution (conservative and progressive) in the world from the American revolution, which it posits as the prototypical modern-era revolution, to the 1980's, when the book was published.

quite unique - too white - freedom fighters = troublemakers for Indonesia? would Paul Revere's teams earn the same title?
