The Anatomy of Revolution is a book by Crane Brinton in which he outlined uniformities in four revolutions, the English Revoloution of the 1640's, the American, the French, and the 1917 Russian Revolution. Usually the revolution shifted in a cycle from the old order to a moderate regime to a radical regime, after which came a Thermidorian reaction.

The title seems to have inspired others, for instance Leo Hubermann, who wrote "Cuba: Anatomy of a Revolution" in 1969.
