An extraordinarily gripping narrative of how Britain, seemingly on the ropes after losing control of America, built the military and naval might to defeat Napoleon -- and in doing so transformed her destiny.
In this wholly definitive work, David Andress examines the The French Revolution: the birth of a new ideological age and the bloody emergence of Europe's first political terrorists.
This study plots a narrative course through the French Revolution examining the elements behind the breakdown of the 18th-century monarchic state. Engaging with the late-1990s historical research, it presents a picture of the tensions throughout the revolutionary decade.
