Write a review
A watershed in modern world history, the French Revolution swept away the decrepit institutions of France's absolute monarchy and ushered in an age of profound social, economic, and political upheaval, the bitterly contested legacy of which is felt right up to the present day…
Blending narrative with analysis, Peter Davies explores a time of obscene opulence, mass starvation, and ground-breaking ideals; where the streets of Paris ran red with blood, and the numbers requiring execution precipitated the invention of the guillotine. Davies brings the subject up to date by considering the legacy of the revolution and how it continues to resonate in today's France.
