Synopsis
This history compares events in Paris, New York and London from 1765 to 1795, when the first two were convulsed by revolution, and the third came close. Drawing on archives, letters and travelogues, the book evokes a world in which aristocrats, lawyers, artisans and society hostesses passionately debated the issues of liberty, justice and the social order, and assesses how those momentous years have shaped the political and physical fabric of all three cities to this day.

Review
'Mike Rapport describes how urbans geography shaped mass politics and how cities again became the great stages of politics...a skilful addition to 'Atlantic history' -- Dominic Green * Literary Review * A refreshingly vibrant narrative. At times, [Rapport's] political study could almost double as a travelogue * New York Times *
