The Age of the Democratic Revolution, Vol 2: The Struggle

3.7/5 ( ratings)

From Preface: "This book describes the confrontation that took place in Europe and America at the time of the French Revolution and the wars that accompanied it. Though it can be read independently, the book is a sequel to one published in 1959 under the same title, but subtitled 'The Challenge,' as the present one is subtitled 'The Struggle.' The connecting thought is that in the years from about 1760 to 1791 or 1792, the period of the earlier volume, revolutionary movements against aristocratic forms of society made themselves evident in many countries, but that except in America they were either crushed or, as in France and Poland in 1791, were of very doubtful success, so that a 'challenge' had been issued which awaited resolution by further 'struggle.' The present volume traces the fortunes of both revolution and counter-revolution to bout the year 1800. By that time, it is argued, although counter-revolutionary or aristocratic forces had prevailed in some countries, the new or democratic view had established itself, in a way less than ideal, against attempts of its adversaries to put it down...."
