- Balgair 6y agoDuncan also did 'The History of Rome' podcast. Which was amazing. I'm still grinding through 'Revolutions' and am only on the Haitian revolution still. But, this early on, one thing I've noticed is that the cycle of revolutions is, well, pretty easy to predict. Brett Deveraux of the ACOUP blog has a good few on the greek idea of stasis. https://acoup.blog/tag/stasis/ https://acoup.blog/tag/stasis/ . It's application to Duncan's 'Revolutions' is perfectly fitting. One other thing I've noticed is that in a Revolution, unless you are very wealthy or very lucky or very cunning, the best way to get through a revolution is to get out of it. Go somewhere else, be an expat, write some essays, just don't be anywhere near the mobs or the soldiers.
