R. R. Palmer Bücher
Robert Roswell Palmer war ein amerikanischer Historiker, der sich auf das achtzehnte Jahrhundert in Frankreich spezialisierte. Seine einflussreichste wissenschaftliche Arbeit untersuchte das Zeitalter der demokratischen Revolution, das zwischen 1760 und 1800 die atlantische Zivilisation erfasste. Palmer erforschte die politische Geschichte Europas und Amerikas in dieser Zeit und lieferte tiefe Einblicke in die Entstehung moderner Demokratien. Seine Werke trugen wesentlich zum Verständnis dieser entscheidenden Ära bei.

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.
