Revolution in France - The era of the French Revolution and Napoleon, 1789-1815 (Broché)

Revolution in France looks at the turbulent events that shook France at the end of the eighteenth century and at the rise and fall of Napoleon and his empire. From the basic inequalities of pre-Revolution France, through the events of the Revolution itself, to the career of Napoleon Bonaparte, the story of the age is brought to life through an imaginative and wonderfully diverse array of sources. Finally, pupils are reminded that, despite the eventual fall of Napoleonic France, the legacy of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Era is still with us.
