OUTLINE
The twentieth century was an age of revolutions. As the pace of social and economic
change quickened and the savagery of technological warfare destabilized societies,
intolerable pressures were created which exploded into violent political movements.
These overthrew long-standing regimes and radically reshaped social orders, beginning
with the monarchies in China and Russia, the latter transformed into a communist
society which sought to export its revolution abroad. The economic collapse of the
1920s in turn bred reactionary revolutions and dictatorships in Europe, while the
weakening of European power in the wake of the Second World War sparked new
revolutionary movements in the colonies, determined to throw off imperial rule or
unseat dictators supported by foreign powers. Towards the century’s end, the collapse
of the Soviet Union fed new movements, which sought to throw off the choking legacy
of earlier revolutions that turned out to have merely replaced one form of oppression
with another.
Revolution examines all the key revolutions of the twentieth century, from the 1917
October Revolution, which overthrew the Tsarist regime in Russia, to those which
accompanied the collapse of the Soviet Union at the century’s end. It encompasses the
anti-imperialist revolutions that swept through Latin America, Africa and Asia after the
end of the Second World War and the democratic revolutions that overthrew a string of
dictatorships from the 1980s onwards.
Following the narrative thread through 30 key uprisings and revolutionary movements
and illustrated with contemporary photographs and documents, this is an indispensable
guide to a phenomenon that shaped and overshadowed much of the twentieth century.
Including 15 items of memorabilia, such as:
• Soviet proclamation of the disbanding of the Provisional Government, 1917
• Propaganda poster calling on the FLN to surrender in the Algerian War of
Independence, 1957

概述
二十世纪是革命时代。随着社会和经济变化的步伐加快，野蛮的技术战让社会动荡不安，无法忍受的压力催生了激烈的政治运动。这些革命推翻了 中国和俄罗斯从君主制开始就长期存在的制度，从根本上改变了社会秩序，后者转化向外传播它的革命的共产主义社会。20世纪20年代欧洲的经济崩溃孕育了反动革命和独裁统治，而二战后欧洲力量的削弱在殖民地引发了新的革命运动，他们决心摆脱帝国的统治或推翻列强扶持的独裁者。在世纪末，苏联解体孕育了新的运动，它试图摆脱早期革命遗留下来的窒息，结果只是换了一种压迫方式。
《革命》将探索二十世纪所有的重要革命，从1917年推翻了沙皇俄国政权的十月革命，到那些与世纪末苏联解体同时发生的革命。它包括二战结束后席卷拉丁美洲、非洲和亚洲的反帝反封建革命，和从上世纪80年代起推翻了一系列独裁统治的民主革命。
通过30个关键的起义和革命运动来展开叙述，用当代照片和文件加以阐述，这是对这个塑造和覆盖了二十世纪大部分时间的现象的不可缺少的指南。
包括15件值得纪念的大事件，如：
•1917年苏联宣布临时政府的解散
•1957年呼吁阿尔及利亚民族解放阵线在阿尔及利亚独立战争中投降的宣传海报(LYR)
