a really great book, and rather important historically, is Crane Brinton's "Anatomy of Revolution". There are definite stages to radical change. I think he wrote it in the 1930s, but it was studied in college classrooms for more than half a century and is likely still a classic today. One of his stage was the Reign of Terror. He compared four Revolutions - American, Russian, French and ... gee the 4th escapes me ... Glorious Revolution of 1688? I guess I better read the book again.
