Fred Halliday, Revolution and World Politics: The Rise and Fall of the Sixth Great Power (London: Macmillan 1999).

In an age which seems anything but revolutionary it is essential to recall how much the international politics of the last two centuries has been shaped by the fear - real and imagined - of the revolutionary overthrow of the existing order. It all began of course in France, continued with the Bolshevik seizure of power in 1917, and then persisted in one form or another for the entire duration of the two post-war periods.
