David A. Bell
David A. Bell is the Lapidus professor in the department of history at Princeton. His latest book, Men on Horseback: Charisma and Power in the Age of Revolutions, is forthcoming from Farrar, Straus, and Giroux.
To understand the American and French revolutions, one must look not simply at their origins in the wider world but also at how particular environments could become crucibles of intense and rapid political change.
