Synopsis

This ground-breaking book probes the way that two capitalist superpowers, Great Britain and the United States, responded to the momentous challenge of revolution that emerged during the early years of this century. Focusing on two key figures--Woodrow Wilson and David Lloyd George--the book explores the collective impact on the Western democracies of the revolutions that swept Mexico in 1910, China in 1911, and, especially, Russia in 1917.

Review:

"Conveys the confusion of the attempts to make peace and confront revolution at the same time....Better than any previous book on the subject, it indicates why they failed."--The New York Times Book Review

"A fine study."--History: Reviews of New Books

"A clear explanation, useful as a text in 20th century American History courses."--Carolli Carter, Menlo College
