REVOLTING: A RIOTOUS HISTORY OF REBELLIONS/ REVOLUTIONS (HB)

Every now and again, a new group actually manages to seize power, and it changes history. Few enjoy the success of Ivaylo, the Bulgarian swineherd who managed to fight off the Mongols, slay the Tsar and marry his widow in the space of a year. But then, some rebels have more modest aims: Spartacus mainly wanted to go home to see his mum. From the peasants to the slaves, the martyrs to the mutineers, Revolting celebrates the resilience and determination of those who dared to challenge the status quo.
