Fire in the Minds of Men

Autor James H. Billington
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 1999
This book traces the origins of a faith -- perhaps the faith of the century. Billington is interested not in revolutions, but revolutionaries -- the innovative creators of a new tradition. His historical frame extends from the warning of the French Revolution in the late eighteenth century to the beginnings of the Russian Revolution in the early twentieth century. This is an invaluable work of history and a major contribution to our understanding of political life.

Descriere

This text traces the origins of a faith - modern revolutionaries are believers, no less committed and intense than were Christians or Muslims of an earlier era. What is different is the belief that a perfect secular order will emerge from forcible overthrow of traditional authority.
