<p><b>When should we revolt? A life-changing insight into violent political change by one of the world''s greatest political thinkers and author of </b><b>surprise</b><b> recent bestseller </b><b><i>The Origins of Totalitarianism.</i></b><br><b><br>''More than any thinker it was Arendt who identified how movements of ideas, racial theories, people and methods ... ultimately disfigured the twentieth century.'' </b>David Olusoga<br><br><b>''Arendt''s most profound legacy is in establishing that one has to consider oneself political as part of the human condition. What are your political acts, and what politics do they serve?'' </b><i>Guardian</i><br><br><b>''How could such a book speak so powerfully to our present moment? The short answer is that we, too, live in dark times.'' </b><i>Washington Post </i>(on <i>The Origins of Totalitarianism</i>)<br><br><i><b>On Revolution</b></i> is world-famous political thinker Hannah Arendt''s classic exploration of a phenomenon that has radically reshaped the world.

Urgent yet timeless, <i>On Revolution </i>is essential reading for anyone seeking to decipher the forces that have shaped our tumultuous age.<br><b><br>''Enormously erudite, always imaginative, original and full of insights.''</b> <i>Sunday Times</i><b><br><br>''Remarkable for us, no doubt, is Arendt''s conviction that only philosophy could have saved those millions of lives.'' </b>Judith Butler</p>
