I‘m prepping for a new unit with my Year 12s on revolutions in History and this text predictably communicated lots of great content, concisely and at an accessible level for my kids. This series is a super reliable starting point for me. This particular text offers a great mix of analysis of common features of revolutions and the conditions they arise in, as well as thematically grouped summaries of significant revolutions.

Lcsmcat Kudos on trying to teach kids connections in history. I think too often we miss them in an attempt to organize history into timelines, and that does us all a disservice. 2y
