French Revolution and Napoleon

Anyone who seeks to understand the stirring period in which we are now living becomes quickly aware that he must first know the history of the French Revolution, a movement that inaugurated a new era, not only for France but for the world. In fact, the most dramatic and most impressive chapter of modern history was written by the French Revolution and by Napoleon. For the convenience of those who may wish to review this memorable and instructive period I have brought together in this volume the chapters dealing with it in my Modern European History, from the old regime in Europe to the decline and fall of Napoleon.This new large print edition is designed to make reading comfortable.
