On 1848

Rapport, Mike. 1848: Year of Revolution. New York: Basic Books, 2010. pp. 496. Paperback.

This book is a remarkable work that surveys (and analyzes!) the 1848 revolutions all over Europe—from Palermo in the south to Paris in the north, and from Ireland in the west to Poland in the east—and is a truly must-read for any interested in those crucial years of liberalism and republicanism between 1830 and 1848 (naturally, however, this book is centered around 1848 itself).
