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
Hannnah Arendt (1906-1975) was born in Hanover, Germany, in 1906. She studied philosophy, receiving a doctorate at the University of Heidelberg. Arendt fled Germany in 1933 and went to France, before arriving in the United States in 1941, taking American citizenship ten years later. She taught at universities including Princeton, Columbia, Berkeley and Yale, and wrote numerous works of political theory. She died in 1975.
