Specificatii
For the ruling and propertied classes of the late eighteenth
century, the years following the French Revolution were
characterized by intense anxiety. Monarchs and their courtiers
lived in constant fear of rebellion, convinced that their
power--and their heads--were at risk. Driven by paranoia, they
chose to fight back against every threat and insurgency, whether
real or merely perceived, repressing their populaces through
surveillance networks and violent, secretive police action. Europe,
and the world, had entered a new era. In Phantom Terror,
award-winning historian Adam Zamoyski argues that the stringent
measures designed to prevent unrest had disastrous and far-reaching
consequences, inciting the very rebellions they had hoped to quash.
The newly established culture of state control halted economic
development in Austria and birthed a rebellious youth culture in
Russia that would require even harsher methods to suppress. By the
end of the era, the first stirrings of terrorist movements had
become evident across the continent, making the previously
unfounded fears of European monarchs a reality. Phantom Terror
explores this troubled, fascinating period, when politicians and
cultural leaders from Edmund Burke to Mary Shelley were forced to
choose sides and either support or resist the counterrevolutionary
spirit embodied in the newly-omnipotent central states. The
turbulent political situation that coalesced during this era would
lead directly to the revolutions of 1848 and to the collapse of
order in World War I. We still live with the legacy of this era of
paranoia, which prefigured not only the modern totalitarian state
but also the now preeminent contest between society's haves and
have nots. These tempestuous years of suspicion and suppression
were the crux upon which the rest of European history would turn.
In this magisterial history, Zamoyski chronicles the moment when
desperate monarchs took the world down the path of revolution,
terror, and world war.
