It is an era that redefined history. As the 1790s began, a
fragile America teetered on the brink of oblivion, Russia towered
as a vast imperial power, and France plunged into revolution. But
in contrast to the way conventional histories tell it, none of
these remarkable events occurred in isolation.
Now, for the first time, acclaimed historian Jay Winik
masterfully illuminates how their fates combined in one
extraordinary moment to change the course of civilization. A
sweeping, magisterial drama featuring the richest cast of
characters ever to walk upon the world stage, including Washington,
Jefferson, Louis XVI, Robespierre, and Catherine the Great, The
Great Upheaval is a gripping, epic portrait of this tumultuous
decade that will forever transform the way we see America's
beginnings and our world
