"Bandits in World History" is a classic work by the outstanding British historian Eric Hobsbawm. It gave life to a whole direction of social and historical research into the phenomenon of banditry and, in particular, "social banditry". The author does not follow the current situation - and he managed to take a new look at the rebels and robbers, about whom legends have been created for centuries. Dozens of examples from the history of different countries, sharp analogies between the events of the distant past and the present - all this determined the highest level of the book. In each culture there is an image of a noble robber, to whom songs and sagas were dedicated. The historian finds common features between bandit gangs and peasant wars, the struggle for people's rights, social protest ... For the first time, Hobsbawm's work is published in Russia with detailed articles by major modern historians analyzing the legacy of the scientist. The book is intended for everyone interested in the true history of mankind.
