REFLECTIONS ON THE REVOLUTION

A work that has been influential in political philosophy, history, and revolutionary thought for two centuries is now available in a fresh, modern edition that warns readers of the catastrophic repercussions of mismanaging change. Burke's Reflections of the Revolution in France, written for a generation confronted with enormous challenges-the Industrial, American, and French Revolutions, to name the most obvious-displays a keen awareness of the high stakes that can be involved in politics as well as a keen ability to place current issues within a larger context of political theory.
