This book provides students and general readers with a history of
France during the Revolution and Empire. It includes a narrative of
events from the fall of the Bastille to the defeat of Napoleon, and
a compelling analysis of "why" the revolution occurred.
The book explains how the French Revolution encountered
opposition not only from the privileged but also from the common
people. It examines and analyzes various forms of resistance that
arose when it became apparent that the hopes of 1789 could not be
realized. The Terror of 1793-4 aimed to annihilate this resistance
and remake human nature, but its violence and financial policies
crippled successor governments and liberal institutions.
Amidst a new round of war and domestic subversion, Napoleon
eventually restored order but at the expense of many of the ideals
of 1789.
