Beskrivning

In this excellent introduction to the French Revolution, historian Sylvia Neely shows how particular political choices during that period led to reform, revolution, terror, and dictatorship. The profound transformations in government and society during the revolution forced the French to come up with new ways of thinking about their place in the world and led to what we know today as liberalism, conservatism, terrorism, and nationalism.

Neely provides an excellent introduction to the French Revolution, showing how particular political choices led to reform, revolution, terror, and dictatorship. Political issues are placed in their social context, but politicians emerge as individuals forced to make difficult decisions, which led to unintended consequences that, taken together, defined the trajectory of the Revolution.
