«Comment les démocraties finissent» is the essay by Jean-François Revel, published by Grasset & Fasquelle in paperback (336 pages, in French).
Revel argues that the passivity and pacifism of Western democracies make them vulnerable to Soviet expansionism, determined to impose its model. He denounces the resignation with which this advance is accepted and warns that, without a prompt awakening, democracy could remain a brief episode in history.
Work originally published in 1983 in France, written with the collaboration of Branko Lazitch. The volume includes bibliographical references.
For readers of political history, philosophy, and international relations, especially those studying twentieth-century Soviet expansionism.
