John Dunn; Modern Revolutions

Many political regimes today draw such legitimacy as they have from a revolution, the destruction of an existing political elite and its replacement by a different group or groups drawn from inside the same society. In examining eight major revolutions of the twentieth century - Russia, China, Mexico, Turkey, Yugoslavia, Vietnam, Algeria and Cuba - John Dunn helps readers to remedy this state of affairs by thinking for themselves.
