Reviews for How Armies Respond to Revolutions and Why
In this superb book, Barany asks how many militaries in nearly 20 countries responded to popular uprisings from 1979 to 2011.
Choice Barany's short work is a welcome addition to the literature on revolutions for its clarity, accessibility, and range of case studies.
