A globetrotting, laugh-out-loud popular history for fans of David Mitchell. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a truth universally acknowledged that the rich and powerful always look after their own and the working people are always revolting. But every now and again, a new group actually manages to seize power, and it changes history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFew enjoy the success of Ivaylo, the Bulgarian swineherd who managed to fight off the Mongols, slay the Tsar and marry his widow in the space of a year. But then, some rebels have more modest aims- Spartacus mainly wanted to go home to see his mum. Either way, we have much to learn from the tactics of revolutionaries gone by, like the two suffragists who posted themselves by Royal Mail to see the prime minister. (A first-class idea, though Downing Street declined the parcel.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the peasants to the slaves, the martyrs to the mutineers, \u003ci\u003eRevolting\u003c\/i\u003e celebrates the resilience and determination of those who dared to challenge the status quo.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46727065108638,"sku":"UBD-9780857508645","price":36.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780857508645.jpg?v=1776492305","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780857508645","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
