Abstract: Crane Brinton's famous Anatomy of Revolution marks a watershed in the study of revolution. This essay celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the book's publication. It discusses some of the reasons for the remarkable longevity of Brinton's study; it traces Brinton's influence through three generations of American students of revolution; and it suggests a new research agenda for the coming generation based on a re-examination of the concepts of `failed' and `successful' revolutions and of the locus of sovereignty. Here, too, Brinton can provide insight.
