"History of the French Revolution" by Kiyoji Honda Kyoyo Sensho 24, with search and chronology First edition 1973, fourth printing 1977 *Please note: There are pencil markings. In this book, I have always paid attention to the counter-revolutionary movements that accompany revolutions. This is because, during the "democratization" movement, I already felt that there were reactionary movements and a deep-seated foundation that could revive as a major counter-revolutionary force at any time. It is well known that this is now hindering the progress of democratization in Japan and is even materializing as a persistent force trying to turn back the wheels of history. The situation is becoming even more serious. Moreover, there is a mood of trying to avoid looking at the seriousness as much as possible, and politics that uses all means to hide it is dominant. Shouldn't we reflect on the lessons of the French Revolution, now more than ever? (From this book) The French Revolution, which heralded the birth of modern bourgeois society, still gives deep inspiration and great lessons to those who think about the progress of human society. This book is a good introductory book written to provide accurate knowledge of the French Revolution and to establish a correct view of social change, keeping in mind the task of democratic reform in Japan soon after the war. While tracing the concrete process of the revolution in a lively style, it clearly tells its world-historical significance, what the revolution achieved and the work that remained, the dynamism of revolution and counter-revolution, and so on. #France #FrenchRevolution #CounterRevolution #Reactionary #Democratization #KiyojiHonda Library: A
