In \u003ci\u003eA New World Begins\u003c\/i\u003e, Jeremy D. Popkin offers a riveting account of the revolution that puts the reader in the thick of the debates and the violence that led to the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of a new society. We meet Mirabeau, Robespierre, and Danton, in all their brilliance and vengefulness; we witness the failed escape and execution of Louis XVI; we see women demanding equal rights and Black slaves wresting freedom from revolutionaries who hesitated to act on their own principles; and we follow the rise of Napoleon out of the ashes of the Reign of Terror.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on decades of scholarship, \u003ci\u003eA New World Begins\u003c\/i\u003e will stand as the definitive treatment of the French Revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1541620178\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781541620179\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Popkin, Jeremy\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Oct 2021)","offer_id":46081524039877,"sku":"9781541620179","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781541620179.jpg?v=1776047170","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/a-new-world-begins-the-history-of-the-french-revolution","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
