Le Bon examines the psychology of revolutions in general, both religious and political, as well as the mental and emotional qualities of the movements' leaders. Most of his examples are drawn from French history, with a particular emphasis on the French Revolution: its origins and rational, plus its affective, mystic, and collective influences.
