"a long, excruciating survey of the historical and sociological origins of parliamentary democracy, fascism, and communism in britain, germany, france, russia, china, india, and japan. i frequently have trouble separating my opinions of the content of a book from the author's ability to express that content clearly. this is a turgid, meandering tome that never seems to specify a main thesis or process clearly. small N analyses often resort to massaging the theory in order to show that the empirical data fits it well. usually, this is not obvious enough to be egregious. in this case, it is so obtrusive that the book is a pain to read."
"Excellent readding, althoug I failled to read it completely, for I had to return it. It was borowed to me by a colege professor. She came and simply ofered it for me to read. It was my first semester in colege, I still don't know how she figured out it was about one of my main interests. I guess she just liked me..."
"This book is a classic piece of work that reworked the ground for peasant studies. An amazing amount of information on peasant-landlord relations from places as diverse as France, USA, and China. It is interesting to read his thoughts on India, which I felt are similar to what many are expressing about Sub-Saharan Africa countries. While the book may seem to be just good history, or for critics maybe "anachronistic", I found the theories and insights to be highly relevant to my work in the borderlands of Nigeria and Cameroon where feudal relations still rule the lives of pastoral herders."
