It's apparent problem is that it's a 70% scholarly opus and only 30% general audience non-fiction. Hence, low ratings from incensed public, tired by its density and thickness. A "lively, panoramic" history of a revolutionary year (New York Times) In 1848, a violent storm of revolutions ripped through Europe. The torrent all but swept away the conservative order that had kept peace on the continent since Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo in 1815 -- but which in many countries had also suppressed dreams of national freedom. Political events so dramatic had not been seen in Europe since the French Revolution, and they would not be witnessed again until 1989, with the revolutions in Eastern and Central Europe. In 1848, historian Mike Rapport examines the roots of the ferment and then, with breathtaking pace, chronicles the explosive spread of violence across Europe. A vivid narrative of a complex chain of interconnected revolutions, 1848 tells the exhilarating story of Europe's violent "Spring of Nations" and traces its reverberations to the present day. A cogent and clear recounting of a vital but all-too-forgotten period (in America, at least) in Europe's history, the 1848 wave of European revolutions when the people momentarily overthrew a dozen monarchs, only to be crushed again in a subsequent wave of counter-revolutions. The tale could easily have been lost among the dozens of names in different languages, but Rapport keeps a firm grasp on his storyline. His thesis is also relatively clear, with appropriate nuance: the revolutions succeeded because of genuine discontent with European governments that was channelled by a strong alliance of liberals and radicals — and then failed when that alliance fell apart and was unable to contend with the forces of reaction. Vital for understanding later events, such as the recent Arab Spring. In 1848, a violent storm of revolutions ripped through Europe.

Ein kurzer Traum von FreiheitUnsere 68er waren nichts gegen den Revolutionssturm, der ber ein Jahrhundert zuvor ganz Europa erfasste und sogar bis nach Brasilien wirkte. 1848 war der Kontinent im Aufbruch; Deutschland probte die Demokratie.Europa glich einem Pulverfass. Millionen Arbeiter und Handwerker lebten im Elend. Da flog am 21. Februar 1848 in Paris der erste Funke. Die politische Explosion, die er entfachte, lAste einen Flnchenbrand aus. berall gingen Revolutionnre auf die Barrikaden. In Berlin starben Hunderte bei Straenschlachten. In Mailand musste Radetzky mit seinen Truppen vor den Rebellen gegen die Asterreichische Herrschaft aus der Stadt flchten. Europa erlebte eines der turbulentesten Jahre, in dem PersAnlichkeiten wie Metternich den Lauf der Dinge aufzuhalten versuchten und letztlich doch von den Ereignissen berrollt wurden. Mike Rapport fhrt den Leser in prnzisen, dramatischen Szenen mitten ins Geschehen, ordnet die Ereignisse und die weltgeschichtlichen Entwicklungen - wie die Abschaffung der Sklaverei in Frankreich und den Beginn der Frauenbewegung - aber auch mit dem Blick des Historikers ein.aBiographische InformationenMike Rapport lehrt Geschichte an der Universitnt von Stirling, Schottland.
