Abstract:
"Arno J. Mayer revisits the two most tumultuous and influential revolutions of modern times: the French Revolution of 1789 and the Russian Revolution of 1917." "In his comparison of the world's two transnational revolutions, Mayer follows their unfolding - from the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Bolshevik Declaration of the Rights of the Toiling and Exploited Masses; the escalation of the initial violence into the reign of terror of 1793-95 and of 1918-21; the dismemberment of the hegemonic churches and religion of both societies; the "externalization" of the terror through the Napoleonic Wars; and its "internalization" in Soviet Russia in the form of Stalin's "Terror in One Country.""--Jacket.
