The Psychology of Revolution eBook Gustave Le Bon
Gustave Le Bon was a very intelligent man who clearly understood the nuts & bolts of human nature—including how people think, feel, and act in a large crowd setting. He uses the French revolution as a historical backdrop and foundation to illustrate and prove his insights and arguments concerning the psychology of crowds and how they tumultuously behave during episodes of economic, social, or political upheavals. Contrary to what other commentators have said, I found this work to be straightforward and understandable.Le Bon writes clearly and logically and consistently elaborates on his key topics with enough depth and detail to substantiate his claims and assertions. Le Bon was the father of social psychology and his brilliant ideas, insights, and observations are as relevant today as they were 116 years ago when he penned this treatise. I wish I would have stumbled across this book sooner.

The Psychology of Revolution eBook Gustave Le Bon Reviews
This isn't even a reprint of an original. It's simply a bound version from what appears to be a copy machine. Useless for citations, if that's what you need.
LeBon writes in 19th century style and it takes a bit of time getting used to but the concepts he deals with -people's behavior in a disordered world- are priceless. I have read and recommended his book The Crowd and thought it was better than taking a semester college class. This one matches it. I highly recommend it.
Not as good as the crowd, but still an enjoyable read. Gustave Le Bon is a great writer so its always enjoyable reading from him.
The Psychology of Revolution is as apt and revealing today as when psychologist Gustave Le Bon wrote it with the knowledge of the bloody French Revolution in mind. It is as true as if he were explaining why the Nazis took power in Germany, why the so-called "Arab Spring" occurred, why the theatre of the streets in Egypt turned sour and brought in the wrong government. It even gives psychological reasons for dictatorship in Iran and terrorist groups like Hamas which they fund. It is highly likely that Lenin read it as well as Hitler, as a book of instructions on how to whip up a mindless crowd to a frenzy. It is not a political book but an explanation by a psychologist of how crowds take leave of their senses and turn into a many-tentacled monster.[ASINB004UJNHPC The Psychology of Revolution]
It is not the content of information within the book that gives it one star. It is the font within the book; to small. I wear glasses and I barely saw the words. What else gives this book one star is the return policy. They wanted to give me a $1 return on a $7 book. SMH. SAVE YOUR MONEY & TIME.
This book needs to be rediscovered. It illuminates the contradictory nature's of the French revolution in a way that the historian is incapable of. Even though a century old, it gives insight into the nature of our political our conflicts today. It hammers home that we experience a clash of political beliefs as virulent as any religious wars of the past and that we are little motivated by reason as much as our passions and beliefs even when they take on the form of a cult of reason. Seldom is there a book upon which so much meditation merited.
I suggest along with this book,
The Great Debate by Yuval Levine,
The Machiavellians by James Burnham, and
The Suicide of the West also by James Burnham..
A great book, with a lot of information and fresh analyses of the French Revolution and beautiful insights on mass psychology. Very non-PC. The author, a late-nineteenth-century French physician, does not care whom he insults and generalizes about ethnic groups in a way that would be impossible today. At the same time he is completely free of prejudice; in fact, he criticizes the French and related nations more sharply than any others (reminds me of Nietzsche's views on the Germans).
