Compulsive and eye-opening

The Spanish Civil War: Revolution and Counterrevolution
Burnett Bolloten
The University of North Carolina Press
, 1991
Definitive book on the subject
This is an excellent book on the Spanish Civil War. The author is impartial to a fault. The outlines of the crisis of leadership of the Spanish revolution can be clearly be seen. The Stalinists following the direction of the Comintern opted for the chessboard of ...

A New Criminal Type in Jakarta: Counter-Revolution Today
James T. Siegel
Duke University Press
, 1998
Original, provocative, complex
In my opinion one of the most original, provocative and successful works of anthropology to be written in the past few decades. Siegel's extremely subtle and complex lines of argumentation may be difficult to follow, however, for those unfamiliar with his interlocutors ...

Year of the Heroic Guerrilla: World Revolution and Counterrevolution in 1968
Robert V. Daniels
Harvard University Press

From Paris to Peking, from Saigon to Washington, the pillars of the postwar world tottered on the brink of collapse in 1968. Year of the Heroic Guerrilla is the first global analysis of that universal upheaval. Daniels vividly depicts the great crises of that era: the Tet offensive and the abdication of Lyndon Johnson; the denouncement of ...
France, 1789-1815: Revolution and Counterrevolution
Donald M.G. Sutherland
Oxford University Press, USA
, 1986
Challenging classical histories of the French Revolution, this revisionist work argues that any history and analysis of the period must give as much weight to counterrevolution as to revolution itself. Sutherland demonstrates that the effects of the Revolution varied greatly according to regional economies, social structures, and religious ...

marvelous book; the current Mrs. Reilly (Pepita) authored the remainder as she searched Finland and Northern Russia for the missing (and feared dead) Sidney. Pepita even asked Winston Churchill for assistance in finding Sidney. Churchill and Pepita both knew in their ...

The Counter-Revolution of Science-Hayek
F A Hayek
Liberty Fund
, 1979
When we discovered a solid stash of this book, the excitement in our offices was palpable. Hayek wrote it in 1952, several years before Mises wrote his final methodological treatise. It was unavailable for many years, and remains long sought after rightly so. In fact, Mises adored this book as a wonderful examination of the dramatic change in ...
