Kropotkins' study of the French Revolution, an event that has transformed the destiny of humanity, is a fundamental interpretation that provides us today with a number of observations of great relevance. Throughout his book, Kropotkin ties his interpretation of the course of the revolution to the continuous stream of popular action, which he sees as beginning long before the revolution itself. Volume One of The Great French Revolution illustrates clearly the regenerative power of the mass of the people and passes on an important message to future generations and future revolutions.
