Description
The Age of the Democratic RevolutionA POLITICAL HISTORY OF EUROPE AND AMERICA, 1760-1800"Robert Palmer possesses the combination of patient schol- arship and broad philosophical inquiry the task demands.This book will enlarge and clarify our understanding of modern Western history. It will do more than that. It will re-emphasize the strength and vitality of the roots that supported the growth of democracy in the Old and New Worlds."-Geoffrey Bruun, The New York Times"It is a stimulating and provocative book in explicit defense of a position-a moral, political, if not quite religious posi- tion-which is the relatively unexamined position of the great majority of Americans. A reading of this book should help many to an explicit examination of their beliefs that may strengthen them and should certainly clarify them."- Crane Brinton, New York Herald Tribune ISBN:9780691005690
