More about the book
The book explores the complex interplay between idealism and terror during pivotal moments in history, specifically the French Revolution of 1789 and the Russian Revolution of 1917. Mayer critiques the contemporary dismissal of violence in favor of a belief in peaceful progress through human rights and capitalism. By revisiting these revolutions, he challenges the notion that violence is an outdated or ineffective means of enacting change, highlighting its significant role in shaping modern society.
