Sweezy'A profound analysis of the May events in France.' â__Ralph Miliband'A durable and thoughtful study.' â__The New Statesman'An intimate and intricate account of the events in Paris by one who knew almost every cobblestone in the Latin Quarter." â__Michael Foot"His narrativeâ_¦is lively and accurate, the background of student politics, labor union organization, and economic conditions carefully brushed in.â_¦[Singer] envisions a democratic, egalitarian nonhierarchical form of socialism.' â__The New York TimesPrelude to Revolution is the indispensable study of May 1968 in France. Generations have looked to this book for inspiration. Daniel Singer, who died in 2000, was widely considered the most adept interpreter of European politics for American audiences in his longtime role as the European correspondent for The Nation. He shows here how change happens, and draws out the lessons from the events of May 1968 for those struggling for a different world today.
