A good overview of the revolutionary culture in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Zamoyski begins with the American Revolution in 1776 and concludes with the Paris Commune of 1871, and in between covers a tumultuous period that included the French Revolution, the Haitian Revolution, the Latin American revolutions, the revolts of 1848, and the numerous wars spawned by these upheavals. He also provides good insights into significant figures, such as Napoleon, Bolivar, and Garbaldi. A good read for anyone interested in this period of history.

The Age of Revolutions, which began in France in 1789 and culminated in the universal explosion of 1848, transformed the nature of politics. The Romantic movement in literature, art and music transformed the West's outlook and system of values. The connection between the two is, the author argues, crucial to an understanding of the modern world, for, in his opinion, it reveals how those revolutions were made, and why most of them ended in failure. He also argues that the connection explains where most of the accepted pieties of modern social and political life come from, and that it has left us with all that is most terrifying in modern life, from genocide to political correctness.
