The French Revolution
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good. Jacket: Worn/faded, no tears. Page Condition: Yellowed. Markings: No markings visible. Binding: Intact.
A landmark work of popular history, The French Revolution chronicles one of the most dramatic and turbulent upheavals in Western civilisation with vivid narrative authority. Christopher Hibbert masterfully reconstructs the decade of chaos, violence, and radical transformation that began with the storming of the Bastille in 1789 and ended with Napoleon's rise to power. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources — letters, diaries, and eyewitness accounts — the book presents the terror, the triumphs, and the tragic human cost of revolutionary France with compelling immediacy. Written in Hibbert's trademark accessible and authoritative style, it illuminates the key figures of the era — Robespierre, Danton, Marie Antoinette, and Louis XVI — situating their fates within the broader sweep of a nation tearing itself apart and remaking itself anew.
