Revolutionary France 1770-1880
by: Furet, Francois

Softcover. Oxford UK, Blackwell, reprint, 1998, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 630 pages. This is an account of 110 years of turbulence and change. At the offset there were not one, but two revolutions: by intent the first was egalitarian, the second - Bonaparte's - authoritarian. The tension between the two characterized the period and shaped the Republic that in the end emerged from the ruins of the Ancien Regime. Clean copy.
