About this audiobook
Esteemed professor Donald M.G. Sutherland provides a riveting account of the French Revolution, explaining how its effects varied greatly according to regional economies, social structures, and religious affiliations. He examines how massive counterrevolutionary movements profoundly affected the course of the Revolution, leading to the failure of constitutional government and, ultimately, to an elitist dictatorship in the person of Napoleon Bonaparte that paved the way for many of the struggles of the nineteenth century.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5To little details to really be a real history of the French revolution, but all the events are well examined and explained. No myths or nonsense in this book as far as I can tell.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Required reading from my undergrad French Revolution and Napoleon history class. Very enjoyable.
