About “The Anatomy of Revolution”
The Anatomy of Revolution is a 1938 book by Crane Brinton that examines the patterns of four major political revolutions: the English Revolution of the 1640s, the American Revolution, the French Revolution, and the Russian Revolution. Brinton identifies a common life-cycle that these revolutions followed, beginning with the Old Order, moving through a moderate regime, then a radical regime, and finally a Thermidorian reaction. The book focuses on the structural similarities among these revolutions rather than their specific historical contexts. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
