Description: "From Tunis to Cairo, Tripoli to Sana'a, revolution is making a comeback in world history. This historical phenomenon returns at regular intervals, to interrupt the passage of time, to overturn the powerful and invent regimes supposedly fairer for the vast majority. The revolution should be looked at squarely, together with the mistakes and missed opportunities it brings with it, in order to restore the aspect of a political laboratory."--Publisher.
