"The authors' succinct discussions of historical events and evidence allow readers to contextualize and evaluate these myths. . . . The results are highly engaging and often very relevant to current events. The volume makes good use of historical source material to illustrate points and themes—this is particularly the case in the final chapter, which looks at varieties of revolutionary experiences by considering the lives of three people who were not famous political figures. These attributes make this a useful and usable text for a variety of courses on modern history. Moreover, it should appeal to general readers."—Michael Hickey, Emeritus, Bloomsburg University
