Synopsis
Hannah Arendt’s penetrating observations on the modern world have been fundamental to our understanding of our political landscape, both its history and future. Published in the years between Arendt’s seminal texts The Origins of Totalitarianism and Eichmann in Jerusalem , On Revolution is a unique and fascinating look at violent political change and its relationship to individual freedom, from the eighteenth-century rebellions in America and France to the explosive changes of the twentieth century. Illuminating and prescient, this timeless work will fascinate anyone who seeks to decipher the forces that shape our tumultuous age.
