"A
fully
nuanced
portrait
of
a
tumultuous
year."--Wall
Street
Journal
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.In1848,
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,1848tells
the
exhilarating
story
of
Europe's
violent
"Spring
of
Nations"
and
traces
its
reverberations
to
the
present
day.
