The first version of the book was published in 1938, with a revised version in 1965, which is still in print. [Crane Brinton, "The Anatomy of Revolution", revised ed. (New York, Vintage Books, 1965). First edition, 1938.]

The title seems to have inspired others, for instance Leo Huberman, who wrote "Cuba: Anatomy of a Revolution" in 1969. Brinton's scholarship has inspired many. For example, in his fifth chapter, [http://www.tell-usa.org/totl/05-Recourse%20to%20the%20Sword.htm "Recourse to the Sword"] , of the online book "Treatise on Twelve Lights", [Robert Struble, Jr., [http://www.tell-usa.org "Treatise on Twelve Lights"] 2007-08 edition.] Robert Struble relies to a considerable extent on Brinton's work. Samuel P. Huntington, in his book "Political Order in Changing Societies", has cited Brinton many times.

The Anatomy of Revolution is a book by Crane Brinton in which he outlined uniformities in four revolutions: the English Revolution of the 1640s, the American, the French, and the 1917 Russian Revolution. Usually the revolution shifted in a cycle from the Old Order to a moderate regime to a radical regime, after which came a Thermidorian reaction.

The first version of the book was published in 1938, with a revised version in 1965, which is still in print. [1]
