France in Revolution (Access to History)

By Dylan Rees

The third edition of this popular title provides a gripping narrative of one of modern Europe's most important and dramatic periods. Starting with the long and short term causes of the revolution in 1789, it goes on to look at the rise of the republican movement, the terror, and the Thermidorian reaction. A new section examines the ideas that came out of the revolution--democracy, liberalism, nationalism, republicanism, and popular sovereignty. Throughout the book key dates, terms and issues are highlighted and historical interpretations of key debates are outlined.
