"An outstanding work of synthesis and imagination." Ian McIntyre,
The Times
"This brilliant book by one of France's leading historians is
the second to be published in a five-volume History of France from
987 to 1987. It is as elegantly written as it is translated. The
style is lively." Sunday Telegraph
"Everyone interested in the French Revolution and its
consequences should read this important, stimulating and accessible
book." Times Literary Supplement
"Anyone with an interest in the period will find, along with a
rich and powerful narrative, some remarkably stimulating, profound
and humane reflections on France's complex political experience."
Times Higher Education Supplement
"An impressive, even dazzling achievement." London Review of
Books
"Francois Furet has a good claim to be considered the leading
living historian of the French revolution. A very well written
book, skilfully translated by Antonia Nevill." History
Today
"The bicentennial of the French Revolution has brought forth
many fine histories of that pivotal event in as many languages. But
none has attained the scope of Furet's volume in the projected
five-volume history of France from 987 AD to 1987. Superbly
translated from the French by Antonia Nevill, Furet's handsome
volume charts a critical century in that 1,000 years." Journal
