<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Risto Alapuro, through a comparative and historical study of the Finnish revolution, provides a pertinent account of how upheavals in powerful countries impact smaller countries.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>By analysing the experience of Finland, Risto Alapuro shows how upheavals in powerful countries shape the internal politics of smaller countries.
