desertcart.com: Fire in the Minds of Men: Origins of the Revolutionary Faith: 9780765804716: Billington, James: Books

Review: James Billington's classic from our time - This is one of the great history books of our time. Billington provides a comprehensive account of the revolutionary obsession from the 18th until the 20th century. He examines in particular national and socialist revolution and the cast of sometimes bizarre characters, cults and conspiracies that peppered these movements. Beautifully written, it is a joy to read. Billington treats his subject matter with empathy but is by no means a revolutionist himself. Gibbon's "Decline aand Fall of the Roman Empire" is still being read today more than three centuries after it was penned. Billington's book will be a must read centuries from now too.
Review: It teaches you how the Revolutionary Concept began, and provides example through France and Russia. - I enjoy reading this book because it provides information about how Revolutions begin and the concepts supporting the Revolutionary's ideology.

I enjoy reading this book because it provides information about how Revolutions begin and the concepts supporting the Revolutionary's ideology.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A classic that remains meaningful
*by G***K on December 16, 2013*

This book deals with the development of revolutionary theories and practices from the French Revolution, through Marx and Engels, and into the 20th Century. Billington traces how revolutionaries came to think of their actions as eventually creating a utopia, even if they would not live to see it. This quasi-religious viewpoint can be seen in the radical religious movements currently active in the world.
