French Revolution History
From the Storming of the Bastille to the Reign of Terror and the Coup of 1799: The Causes, Turning Points and People, Explained in Plain English for BeginnersBy Imad Muratspahic
Length2h 55m
About this audiobook
The Bastille falls, a king loses his crown and then his head, and a republic that began with a Declaration of Rights ends up arresting tens of thousands as suspects. How did one country go from a tax crisis to the Terror in ten years, and why did the story end with a general in power? French Revolution History is a clear, narrative account of the years 1789 to 1799, written in plain English for readers who want to understand what happened, in what order and why, without a university course or a 700-page academic survey. It is not a biography of Napoleon (the story stops at the coup of 1799) and it is not a list of dates to memorize: it follows hunger, ideas and fear, and the people at the center of each, from the court at Versailles to the streets of Paris and the sugar colonies across the ocean. Inside, you'll discover: Whether you are studying, planning a trip to Paris or simply curious why this decade still shapes the way we talk about rights, revolution and power, this book gives you the whole arc in a few evenings of reading, with a quick-reference section to keep beside you afterward.
