The Psychology of Revolution

Gustave Le Bon's *The Psychology of Revolution* analyzes the collective and irrational forces driving revolutionary movements, drawing heavily on the French Revolution to argue that crowd mentality, not reason, shapes political upheaval. It suits readers interested in social psychology, crowd behaviour, and the history of political thought. One correction: the "1996" date is a later reprint; Le Bon's work was originally published in 1912.
