In this provocative new history, Peter McPhee draws on a lifetime's study of 18th-century France and Europe to create an entirely fresh account of the world's first great modern revolution - its origins, drama, complexity and significance. Was the Revolution a major turning point in French - even world - history, or was it instead a protracted period of violent upheaval and warfare that wrecked millions of lives?
