This translation, the first of Zub's remarkable contributions to historical scholarship to appear in English, makes available to an international audience his analysis of the complex of problems initiated by the French Revolution (as they have played out over the last two centuries), of the prophetic perceptions of the Revolution elaborated by Alexis de Tocqueville, and of the impact of the "moment of 1789" and de Tocqueville on Romanian culture.The book is edited by Paul E. Michelson, an American specialist on nineteenth-century Romanian history and a scholar intimately familiar with Romanian historiography, who also provides an introduction to Alexandru Zub and his work for foreign readers in an informative preface.

One of Romania's most distinguished historians, Alexandru Zub is a member of the Romanian Academy and author of numerous books and articles on Romanian history and historiography.
