HISTORY
In 1848 a torrent of revolutions ripped through Europe. Crowds of working-class radicals and middle-class liberals in Paris, Milan, Venice, Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Krakow, Munich, and Berlin toppled the old conservative regimes and began the task of forging a new order. Political events so dramatic had not been seen in Europe since the French Revolution of 1789 and would not be witnessed again until the revolutions of Eastern and Central Europe in 1989.
In 1848, historian Mike Rapport traces the roots of the revolutionary fervor and the explosive spread of violence across Europe, and reveals the many ways in which 1848 continues to shape the modern world.

"In 1848: Year of Revolution, a lively, panoramic new history, Mike Rapport describes the uprising of that year while making clear their modern resonance. He tells a good yarn, with a keen eye for ground-level details It's hard to read this book without feeling a deepening reverence for successful postrevolutionaries like Nelson Mandela and Vaclav Havel, who first made revolution and then made the unheroic compromises that are the lifeblood of actual democratic government." —New York Times
"Absorbing. . . . Rapport writes with vigor and has a good ear for memorable details. . . . Anyone wishing a vivid account of a crucial period in European history can spend many hours engrossed in this book." —Seattle Times
"Descript ions of the street fighting in Paris, Vienna, and Berlin bring a whiff of cordite to the
nostrils. As a guide to who the revolutionaries were and what they wanted. Rapport is impeccable----
No one reading this book can be left in any doubt about the scale of the revolutionaries' failure or the reason for it." —Literary Review (London)
"Cleverly and sensitively chronicled, this is a pacy, learned history that makes sense of an extraordinary year." ¦ —Observer (London)
