<div class="description" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;
font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><em style="margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;">War and Revolution</em><span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>identifies and takes
to task a reactionary trend among contemporary historians, one
that’s grown increasingly apparent in recent years. It’s a
revisionist tendency discernible in the work of authors such
as Ernst Nolte, who traces the impetus behind the Holocaust to
the excesses of the Russian Revolution; or François Furet, who
links the Stalinist purges to an “illness” originating with
the French Revolution.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
The intention of these revisionists is to eradicate the
revolutionary tradition. Their true motives have little to do
with the quest for a greater understanding of the past, but
lie in the climate of the present day and the ideological
needs of the political classes, as is most clearly seen now in
the work of the Anglophone imperial revivalists Paul Johnson
and Niall Ferguson.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
In this vigorous riposte to those who would denigrate the
history of emancipatory struggle, Losurdo captivates the
reader with a tour de force account of modern revolt,
providing a new perspective on the English, American, French
and twentieth-century revolutions.</div>
