Book Review: International Law and the Politics of History by Anne Orford

Abstract

adapted, it feels like an added-on section that would have been better suited to being woven into the narrative of each chapter. Particularly in instances where anarchism, which was never a reserve of Europeans only as Murray-Miller correctly identifies, was a significant influence on these revolutionary movements an inclusion in the overall narrative would have been beneficial. Overall, Murray-Miller’s work has provided a much needed and easily accessible overview of the extensive and impressive entangled web of revolutionary movements and thinkers in the period under investigation. His work provides a remarkably clear and concise overview of the vast scholarship on European revolutionary movements, historiographical trends and some of the most recent theories in the field. Having these broad geographic entanglements synthesized in one single, concise volume makes it an important starting point for any advanced reader with an interest in European revolutionary movements.
