R. R. Palmer Libri
Robert Roswell Palmer fu uno storico americano specializzato nella Francia del XVIII secolo. La sua opera più influente esaminò l'era della rivoluzione democratica che attraversò la civiltà atlantica tra il 1760 e il 1800. Palmer esplorò la storia politica dell'Europa e dell'America durante questo periodo, offrendo profonde intuizioni sulla formazione delle democrazie moderne. Il suo lavoro contribuì in modo significativo alla comprensione di questa era cruciale.

An excellent book on the administration of France by the great Committee of Public Safety. . . . [Palmer] has made the members of the Committee living characters and the events of the period real occurrences.--American Political Science Review
The extraordinary events of the last few years have made this eighth edition come sooner than usual after its predecessor. It is of course too early to assess the magnitude and consequences of what has happened, but we have done much new writing, rewriting, rewording, and rearrangement to present the upheavals in Eastern Europe, the disintegration fo the former Soviet Union, the reunification of Germany, the end of the Cold War, the Islamic fundamentalist movement, changes in latin america, and much else.
