- catalog abstract ""How do countries manage to establish democracy after revolution, totalitarianism or defeat in war? What can the comparative study of France, Germany and Russia tell about paths to democracy?" "Rosemary H.T. O'Kane investigates paths to democracy through the comparative historical analysis of three countries - France, Germany and Russia - whose histories are intertwined in war and peace and whose paths have been broken by one or both of revolution and totalitarianism."

This volume provides a theoretically informed comparative investigation of the links between revolutions, totalitarianism and democracy.
