The principles of the French Revolution remain the only possible
basis for a just society -- even if, after more than two hundred
years, they are more contested than ever before. In A New World
Begins, Jeremy D. Popkin offers a riveting account of the
revolution that puts the reader in the thick of the debates and the
violence that led to the overthrow of the monarchy and the
establishment of a new society. We meet Mirabeau, Robespierre, and
Danton, in all of their brilliance and vengefulness; we witness the
failed escape and execution of Louis XVI; we see women demanding
equal rights and black slaves wresting freedom from revolutionaries
who hesitated to act on their own principles; and we follow the
rise of Napoleon out of the ashes of the Reign of Terror. Based on
decades of scholarship, A New World Begins is the definitive
treatment of the French Revolution.
