"Barany focuses on the critical, yet understudied, question of how militaries respond to revolution. Over the course of his book, he offers a novel theoretical argument and compelling empirical evidence with which to assess that argument. This is an important work that demands the attention of scholars of both revolutions and military institutions."--David M. Edelstein, Georgetown University

"Extremely accessible and impressive in its sweep, this book offers a practical and insightful framework for analyzing military actions during revolutions. Barany has a tremendous grasp of civil-military relations and knows his subject matter well. His work will interest policymakers and analysts as well as scholars studying military politics and military responses to mass uprisings."--Risa Brooks, Marquette University

""How Armies Respond to Revolutions and Why" shows great attention to detail, advances its arguments effectively, and presents a clear, conceptual framework. Enlivened by cases and interviews, this book addresses a topic that is timely and clearly pertinent to policy. It will find a solid readership in war colleges, intelligence and policy analysis circles, and courses in intelligence analysis."--David J. Betz, King's College London
