Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Years of World-Revolution As had been foreseen by all serious students of German affairs, the German Socialist party offered no serious opposition to the German Government at the outbreak of war. 4 The subsequent identi fication of the Socialists with enthusiasm for the war and its aims was inevitable, and was accen tuated by German military triumphs. After one and a half years of war the process had gone so far that Haase, Kautsky, Bernstein, Ledebour, and their little knot of adherents were forced/ to break away. A year later they were able to form the Independent Social Democratic party of Germany, but even then the Minority' move ment, as it is called, proved to be at least premature, as an effective inﬂueiice - for pacifism and inter nationalism - upon the main currents of opinion and action. The Majority continued to domi nate German Socialism, seizing the whole party machine and Press, and co-ope'ratingﬂwhether by open support or by a sometimes still more service able appearance of opposition - with the German Government.

Have you ever been all alone in that mighty solitude of sky and sea, with only one-half inch of wood between your life and a salt water grave five thousand fathoms deep? Did you ever realize what it means to have noth ing but your own isolated brain, bone and muscle to pit against the overwhelming forces of nature? One man, and one tiny boat, against a thousand miles of heaving brine and the unbridled winds of heaven! One brain to foresee and overcome the storms, the giant waves, the scorching heat of the noon day sun, the drenching rains, the treacherous currents, the cold and lonely nights, and to con trol the wild ravings of your animal body that would turn you against yourself, that would prompt you to devour your scant supply of food and drink in a few mad feasts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The French Revolution, Vol. 3 of 3: A History; The Guillotine Very frightful it is when a Nation, rending asunder its Con stitutions and Regulations which were grown dead cerements for it, becomes transcendental and must now seek its wild way through the New, Chaotic, - where Force is not yet distin guished into Bidden and Forbidden, but Crime and Virtue wel ter unseparated, - in that domain of what is called the Passions of what we call the Miracles and the Portents It is thus that, for some three years to come, we are to contemplate France, in this final Third Part of our History. Sansculottism reigning in all its grandeur and in all its hideousness the Gospel (god's message) of Man's Rights, Man's mn/zts or strengths, once more preached irrefragably abroad along with this, and still louder for the time, the fearfulest devil's-message of Man's weaknesses and sins - and all on such a scale, and under such aspect cloudy 'death-birth of a world huge smoke-cloud, streaked with rays as of heaven on one side; girt on the other as with hell-fire 1 History tells us many things but for the last thou sand years and more, what thing has she told us of a sort like this? Which therefore let us two, 0 Reader, dwell on willingly, for a little; and from its endless significance endeavour to ex tract what may, in present circumstances, be adapted for us.

Book excerpt: 'It is my considered judgement that, had it had not been for the Russian Revolution, there would very likely have been no National Socialism; probably no Second World War and no decolonization; and certainly no Cold War, which once dominated our lives. I will attempt here to distill the essence of my books THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION and RUSSIA UNDER THE BOLSHEVIK REGIME by raising the three central questions addressed in those volumes: Why did tsarism fall? Why did the Bolsheviks gain power? Why did Stalin succeed Lenin? Richard Pipes, from THREE WHYS OF THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION. Arguably the most important event of the twentieth century, the Russian Revolution changed forever the course of modern history. Due to the Soviet clampdown on archives regarding the Revolution, many aspects of the event have been shrouded in mystery for over seventy years. However, since the collapse of Communism the archival despositories have been thrown open to interested parties. 'One of America's great histories'. WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD. 'Pipes is not a mere communicator of facts but a philosopher examining the deeper, broader trends beneath the surface of history. ' SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE.

Or we think of the Russian Revolution which has seemed to most observers at a distance to consist so far of wholesale shootings, imprisonings, banishings, wholesale confiscations, industrial anarchy, the abolition of trade.

Book excerpt: For most of us, the French Revolution has been reduced to jokes about Marie-Antoinette, guillotines and the Scarlet Pimpernel. But for Mark Steel, bestselling author of REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL, the French Revolution was one of the most inspirational moments in human history - a moment when ordinary people changed the world and became extraordinary. It deserves better jokes than that. In this revolutionary new book, Steel banishes stuffiness from history, telling us what happened in France between the storming of the Bastille and the rise of Napoleon, bringing to life the people who made them happen. His account is dominated by bizarre events and splendid characters, from the famously odd Robespierre, Danton and Thomas Paine, to the less well known Drouet, the local postman who arrested the fleeing King because he recognised him as the man off of the money. VIVE LA REVOLUTION is an uproariously serious work of history - brilliantly funny and insightful, it puts the peculiarity of individual people back at the centre of the story.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A General History of the World, Vol. 3 Popular Reaction against the Spirit of Conquest repro sented by Napoleon - The revolution of 1688 in England remained wholly English, so it did not leave its own island. The French Revolution was cosmopolitan. The members of the French National Assembly, not merely solicitous of the ancient liberties of the country, had the larger idea of rights common to all men united in society. Thus they placed the Declaration of Rights as a preamble to the Constitution of 1791. They thought of humanity no less than of France. This largeness of view constituted the grandeur and also the misery of the French Revolution. As a result the new order of things emerged from the past only with frightful throes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World Peace and After We witness now the initial stages of that revolution. The world war has long since ceased to be only a war between rival groups of states; it is a conﬂict of ideals. It has become a war of classes; war between the rights of persons and the rights of property. The powerful and propertied minorities the world over are being drawn together in a contest of survival waged with the masses, which, strong in numbers, are weak in organization, in leaders, in the tradition of authority, and have little control of the political and industrial machinery which has hitherto ruled the world. We are witness to the incipient stages of the last and greatest revolution, that by which the masses seek to wrest power from the bourgeoisie. Other revolutions in history have exacted power from kings and placed it in the hands of the nobility. These in turn have been largely merged with the commercial classes, and political and social power has shifted to the hands of those who control the wealth of the world. The revolution whose initial tremors we now discern but which may not be completed in our time is that which seeks to effect a still wider distribution of power: to place it truly where before it has been but ostensibly, in the hands of the people.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World's Cyclopedia of History, Vol. 3: Containing Carlyle's History of the French Revolution So stands it written; in lasting memorial of that year 1744, Thirty other years have come and gone; and 'this great Prince' again lies sick; but in how altered circumstances now! Churches! Resound not with excessive groanings Paris is stoically calm sobs interrupt no prayers, for' indeed none are offered; except Priests' Litanies, read or chanted at fixed money-rate per hour, which are not liable to interruption. The shepherd of the people has been carried home from Little Trianon, heavyof heart, and been put to bed in his own Chateau of Versailles: the flock knows it, and heeds it not. At most, in the immeasurable tide of French Speech (which ceases not day after day, and only ebbs towards the short hours of night), may this of the royal sickness emerge from time to time as an article of news. Bets are doubtless depending; nay, some people express themselves loudly in the streets.'2 But for the rest, on green field and steepled city, the May sun shines out, the May evening fades and men ply their useful or useless business as if no Louis lay in danger.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church and the Russian Revolution The epochal changes which revolutionized the very foundations of Russian life had a rousing effect upon the rest of the world. Where changes of such magni tude and far-reaching consequences are concerned, it is inevitable that the movement causing them be both extolled and condemned by doctrinaires of opposite tempers, without either' much critical regard for the exact course of events, or much historical discrimina tion of them. Hence, before any judgment worthy of respect may be passed upon such a cataclysmic event, it is imperative for a careful investigator to make sure of the exact facts upon which to base his opinions and conclusions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russia's Message, the True World Import of the Revolution I have undertaken to make a plain statement of this situa tion, omitting no feature of the first importance and relating all together as a single whole. I have not written suggesting what we can do for Russia, but rather what Russia has to offer us; I have concerned myself with the universal qualities of the Russian people rather than with any aspect of their character and situation that is peculiar to themselves. I have not written historically for the benefit of the academic student, nor sought to dwell on the picturesqueness of those sections of Russia and aspects of Russian life that are most strange; I have not dwelt on personal experience, as the situation is too large to be presented in all its aspects in any personal narrative. I have sought rather, through the personal acquaintance with a majority of the most important leaders of all parties and' elements of the Russian nation, to put myself in the most immediate contact with the inner ideas and spirit of the great struggle and to present this struggle to the reader as seen through the eyes of its leaders themselves. Finally, I have written not for the casual reader or for him who draws from this tragic and inspiring situation a mere interest in the chances of the fight or in its melodramatic aspects. I appeal rather to those seriously interested in the Rus revolutionary movement for the light it sheds on that inclusive problem, the future of human society.

Book excerpt: Cultural Revolution Culture, often denigrated as nothing but propaganda, was liked not only in its heyday but continues to be enjoyed today. A Continuous Revolution sets out to explain its legacy. By considering Cultural Revolution propaganda art—music, stage works, prints and posters, comics, and literature—from the point of view of its longue durée, Barbara Mittler suggests it was able to build on a tradition of earlier art works, and this allowed for its sedimentation in cultural memory and its proliferation in contemporary China. Taking the aesthetic experience of the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976) as her base, Mittler juxtaposes close readings and analyses of cultural products from the period with impressions given in a series of personal interviews conducted in the early 2000s with Chinese from diverse class and generational backgrounds. By including much testimony from these original voices, Mittler illustrates the extremely multifaceted and contradictory nature of the Cultural Revolution, both in terms of artistic production and of its cultural experience.
