Forrest D. Colburn is the author of, among other works, Managing the Commanding Heights: Nicaragua's State Enterprises.
"[Colburn's] basic conclusion is that purveyors of both Marxism and
its bourgeois "analogue," modernization theory, have got it all
wrong these past five decades. It is not "revolutionary situations"
that produce revolutions so much as revolutionaries, imbued with
ideas learned from the West. . . . [the author] explores the matter
with great deftness and sophistication."
*Times Literary Supplement*
"This concise and impressive volume provides a highly original
approach to understanding 22 revolutions in poor countries since
World War II."---Paul Hollander, National Review
"Colburn makes a strong case for the primacy of politics in Third
World revolutions."
*Foreign Affairs*
". . . a worthwhile thought piece leading the reader to a
consideration of a wide variety of phenomenon in poor countries
whose characters are in need of effective analysis."
*Choice*
