1848 - Year Of Revolution

1848 – Year of Revolution by Mike Rapport (Abacus, 2014)
As sold by Crappy Old Books

Europe, 1848: a tinderbox of restless cities, hungry workers, radical thinkers, and collapsing empires. In 1848 – Year of Revolution, historian Mike Rapport brings to life the roaring chaos of a continent in upheaval. From the barricades of Paris to the ferment in Vienna, from the dreams of democracy in Frankfurt to the flames of rebellion in Budapest, this gripping narrative lays bare a year that promised everything—and delivered a brutal lesson in power and resistance.

Rapport’s sweeping, richly detailed account captures the idealism, bloodshed, and betrayals of a time when revolutionaries briefly dared to rewrite history. It’s part political thriller, part cautionary tale—perfect for lovers of history who like their revolutions grand and their optimism thoroughly crushed.

A bit dog-eared, slightly musty, and possibly harbouring the ghost of a forgotten bookmark, our Crappy Old Books copy comes with all the charm of a book that’s lived through a few revolutions of its own.
