As history, the uprisings of 1848 have long been overshadowed by the French Revolution of 1789 and the Russian revolutions of the early twentieth century. And yet in 1848 nearly all of Europe was aflame with conflict. Parallel political tumults spread like brush fire across the entire continent, leading to significant changes that continue to shape our world today. These battles for the future were fought with one eye kept squarely on the past. Revolutionary Spring is a new understanding of 1848 that offers chilling parallels to our present moment.

The stylistic choice of either to precede each and every quotation in a book full of quotations with "and I quote" was very offputting. It was almost always obvious from context when a quotation was being read. It went from mildly irritating to grating by about halfway through.
As far as the history, if I was not already pretty familiar with the various revolutions of 1848, I think it would have been pretty hard to put together from this book. Telling the story with either some kind of chronological or geographical structure would have made it more coherent.
