Revolutionary Spring: Fighting for a New World 1848-1849
Revolution broke out across Europe in 1848 and had failed almost everywhere within a year.
Christopher Clark covers the continental upheaval of 1848 and 1849 as a single connected event, tracing the causes, the astonishing speed with which it spread, and the reaction that followed. Magisterial on the lead-up and on the long international afterlife of a revolution usually written off as a failure.

Christopher Clark, Revolutionary Spring: Fighting for a New World 1848-1849. The new go-to book on this topic, magisterial on the lead-up causes and later on the international influences and contagions. Will make the year’s best non-fiction list.
