本作原是以「人們何時及為何造反？」為主題的論文集，其副標題為「政治暴力與革命讀本」。主編戴維斯教授，是美國學界政治衝突研究領域的理論權威，美國著名社會學家，他曾提出了著名的「革命的J曲線」理論（J-curve），又被稱為「戴維斯曲線」。 《人們何時及為何造反》引導讀者深入理解人們與機制之間的關係，當機制阻礙而不是促進人們期望「全面的生活」的內心需求時，結果就很有可能是形形色色的暴力。該書節選眾多試圖深入挖掘暴力根源的著作，如亞里斯多德、托克維爾、馬克思、恩格斯、布林頓等人的作品，並由編者在每篇節選前進行精妙的解說與導讀。 本書一共分為六章，由編者詳細講述研究方法。其後各章分別代表一個問題，「個人與社會如何遭遇變遷之挑戰？」、「革命理論綜論」、「革命前的社會心理前兆」、「社會科學家如何連結理論與研究？」、「歷久不衰的綜論」，並透過該章的節選著作提供解答。 戴維斯教授認為，叛亂人群的行為是可預測的。本作朝建構理論原則的方向又邁出一步，我們可以根據這些原則，更深入理解人們如何回應社會變遷，並及時地預測革命行動，以便為將來未雨綢繆。

The Soviet Union occupies as much as one-sixth of the earth's surface and is second only to the United States in total industrial production. Its significance in the modern world, however, extends far beyond economic and military might. The country's socialist system presents an alternative to Western capitalism both in terms of ideology and organisation. This fully revised edition of the textbook first published in 1978 is designed as an introductory guide for students to the contemporary Soviet Union. 13 British scholars survey the major components of the society, including politics and science and technology, and debate the principle issues. The book begins with an examination of the geography and history of the Soviet Union before turning to the present political, social and economic system, and the efforts taken to adapt this system to the requirements of the 20th century. The authors, all specialists on the theme of their own chapters, have endeavoured to provide the basic facts and to introduce readers to major disputes and unsolved problems.
