"The author dissects the motives of the famous- and infamous- revolutionists of our own time and of an earlier day. A Skeptic, he visualizes history not as material for moral tales in which virtue triumphs and wickedness is punished, but as an amoral succession of struggles between power-hungry "outs" and power-mad "ins" with the endless substitution of one ruling elite for another," - dustjacket.
