Losurdo begins from the revisionist theses of Ernst Nolte on the Holocaust and of Francois Furet on the French Revolution, and ends with the Anglophone imperial revivalists Paul Johnson and Niall Ferguson. Losurdo captivates the reader with a history of modern revolt that is a tour de force, giving a new perspective on comparisons between the English, American, French and twentieth-century revolutions"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 327-346) and index. 505 0 $a Two Centuries Under Discussion : Historical Revisionism -- The Revolutionary Cycle and Terror : Britain, France, America -- The Bolshevik October, International Civil War and the Colonial Question -- "White War of Independence," "International Civil War," the "American Century" and the "Second Thirty Years' War" -- The Colonial Tradition, Total War and Genocide -- Nostalgia for Empire : Historical Revisionism in Britain -- The Black Book, the Communist Movement and the Struggle Against the Three Major Forms of Discrimination. 546 $a Translated from the Italian. 650 0 $a History, Modern $y 20th century $x Historiography. 650 0 $a History, Modern $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Historiography $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a World politics $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Military history, Modern $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Revolutions $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Civil war $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Genocide $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Communism $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Fascism $x History $y 20th century. 700 12 $a Losurdo, Domenico. $t Revisionismo storico. $l English. 700 12 $a Losurdo, Domenico. $t Peccato originale del Novecento. $l English. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210707012737.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214013533.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D8D1192E6B5611E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
