R. R. Palmer Knihy
Robert Roswell Palmer bol americký historik, ktorý sa špecializoval na osemnáste storočie vo Francúzsku. Jeho najvplyvnejšia práca skúmala obdobie demokratických revolúcií, ktoré prebiehali naprieč atlantickou civilizáciou v rokoch 1760 až 1800. Palmer skúmal politickú históriu Európy a Ameriky tohto obdobia a významne prispel k pochopeniu tejto kľúčovej éry. Jeho výskum poskytuje hlboký vhľad do formovania moderných demokracií.

An excellent book on the administration of France by the great Committee of Public Safety. . . . [Palmer] has made the members of the Committee living characters and the events of the period real occurrences.--American Political Science Review
The extraordinary events of the last few years have made this eighth edition come sooner than usual after its predecessor. It is of course too early to assess the magnitude and consequences of what has happened, but we have done much new writing, rewriting, rewording, and rearrangement to present the upheavals in Eastern Europe, the disintegration fo the former Soviet Union, the reunification of Germany, the end of the Cold War, the Islamic fundamentalist movement, changes in latin america, and much else.
