On Revolution is the great political thinker Hannah Arendt's classic exploration of a phenomenon that has radically reshaped the world. Exploring the eighteenth-century rebellions in America and France through to the explosive political upheavals of the twentieth-century, On Revolution is essential reading for anyone seeking to decipher the forces that have shaped our tumultuous age. This edition includes a foreword by David Runciman. 'More than any thinker it was Arendt who identified how movements of ideas, racial theories, people and methods . . . ultimately disfigured the twentieth century.' David Olusoga
'Enormously erudite, always imaginative, original and full of insights.' Sunday Times
