An exciting history that chronicles - through the words of the participants themselves - the European radical tradition, via its major revolutions, and near-revolutions - in Bohemia, Germany, the Netherlands, England, France, and Russia. George's narrative is woven around a collection of texts - from the Hussites of 1420, John Lilburne, Gerrard Winstanley, the New Model Army, Levellers, Ranters, Jacobins, the Committee Of Public Safety, the Conspiracy Of Equals, Communards, Bolsheviks, Robespierre, Rosa Luxemburg and more. Here is the story of our out-of-step ancestors - a story of the triumphs and defeats, hopes and dspairs of 500 years of Revolution. "Ranging over half the millennium - from the prophetic insurrections of 14th century Bohemia to the Bolshevik Revolution - George provides the best and broadest available introduction to the tradition of European radicalism. The reprinted selections from 50 central texts of revolutionary history are situated and enlivened by the lively narrative and close analysis which surrounds them. An essential work for students - in and out of the classroom - of revolt, of Marxism, and of liberation." [David Roediger]
