Explores how the American, French, and Polish revolutions, along with political movements in Britain, Ireland, and Holland, reflect similar political ideas, needs, and conflicts.
Robert Roswell Palmer byl americký historik, který se specializoval na osmnácté století ve Francii. Jeho nejvlivnější práce se zabývala obdobím demokratických revolucí, které probíhaly napříč atlantickou civilizací v letech 1760 až 1800. Palmer zkoumal politickou historii Evropy a Ameriky tohoto období a významně přispěl k pochopení této klíčové éry. Jeho výzkum poskytuje hluboký vhled do formování moderních demokracií.

An excellent book on the administration of France by the great Committee of Public Safety. . . . [Palmer] has made the members of the Committee living characters and the events of the period real occurrences.--American Political Science Review
The extraordinary events of the last few years have made this eighth edition come sooner than usual after its predecessor. It is of course too early to assess the magnitude and consequences of what has happened, but we have done much new writing, rewriting, rewording, and rearrangement to present the upheavals in Eastern Europe, the disintegration fo the former Soviet Union, the reunification of Germany, the end of the Cold War, the Islamic fundamentalist movement, changes in latin america, and much else.
