    5.0 out of 5 stars Classic and timeless treatise on crowd psychology during periods of revolution.
    Reviewed in the United States on 29 June 2016
    Gustave Le Bon was a very intelligent man who clearly understood the nuts & bolts of human nature—including how people think, feel, and act in a large crowd setting. He uses the French revolution as a historical backdrop and foundation to illustrate and prove his insights and arguments concerning the psychology of crowds and how they tumultuously behave during episodes of economic, social, or political upheavals. Contrary to what other commentators have said, I found this work to be straightforward and understandable.Le Bon writes clearly and logically and consistently elaborates on his key topics with enough depth and detail to substantiate his claims and assertions. Le Bon was the father of social psychology and his brilliant ideas, insights, and observations are as relevant today as they were 116 years ago when he penned this treatise. I wish I would have stumbled across this book sooner. Thank god for the internet and websites like Amazon that allow you to gain instant access to these great tomes with just a few mouse clicks.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A freshness of attitude that we have lost in our overly-PC world
    Reviewed in the United States on 27 July 2017
    A great book, with a lot of information and fresh analyses of the French Revolution and beautiful insights on mass psychology. Very non-PC. The author, a late-nineteenth-century French physician, does not care whom he insults and generalizes about ethnic groups in a way that would be impossible today. At the same time he is completely free of prejudice; in fact, he criticizes the French and related nations more sharply than any others (reminds me of Nietzsche's views on the Germans).

    2.0 out of 5 stars Text is very small
    Reviewed in Canada on 21 June 2024
    While there is a lot of empty margin at top and bottom of the page, the text is sooo small. They could easily increase the font size without increasing the page count.
