The Era of the French Revolution, 1789-1799: Ten Years That Shook the World (The Anvil series)

The years from 1789 to 1799 are examined here in two parts. The author has included selections from non-official contemporary sources such as newspapers, letters, diaries, and treatises -- many of which have not been previously translated -- with the hope that they will give the reader a sense of the immediacy of revolutionary change. This book presents a modern interpretation of the happenings inside France and also traces the impact of the French Revolution on other nations.
