Three of the formative revolutions that shook the early twentieth-century world occurred almost simultaneously in regions bordering each other. Though the Russian, Iranian, and Young Turk Revolutions all exploded between 1904 and 1911, they have never been studied through their linkages until now. Roving Revolutionaries probes the interconnected aspects of these three revolutions through the involvement of the Armenian revolutionaries-minorities in all of these empires-whose movements and participation within and across frontiers tell us a great deal about the global transformations that were taking shape. Exploring the geographical and ideological boundary crossings that occurred, Houri Berberian's archivally grounded analysis of the circulation of revolutionaries, ideas, and print tells the story of peoples and ideologies in upheaval and collaborating with each other, and in so doing it illuminates our understanding of revolutions and movements.

Reviews
"A magisterial study." * Journal of the Society for Armenian Studies *
"Roving Revolutionaries is a work of discovery and recovery solidly based on prodigious research and reading. Berberian whets one's appetite for even more: a deeper exploration of the complexities of the revolutionary milieus in which these itinerant radicals found themselves; a more critical stance toward her actors; and a hard look at how their circuits, ideas, and activities contributed to the sad, tragic fates that both they personally and the people they hoped to save suffered." * Journal of Modern History *
"A successful hit and highly recommended." * Connections *
