Ranging from an exploration of the English, French, and Russian revolutions and their treatment by revisionist historiography, to the debates and themes arising from attempts to downplay revolution’s role in history, \u003ci\u003eHistory and Revolution \u003c\/i\u003ealso engages with several prominent revisionist historians, including Orlando Figes, Conrad Russell and Simon Schama.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis important book shows the inability of revisionism to explain why millions are moved to act in defence of political causes, and why specific political currents emerge, and is a significant reassertion of the concept of revolution in human development.\u003cb\u003eMike Haynes \u003c\/b\u003eteaches history at the University of Wolverhampton, UK.
