The Era of the French Revolution, 1789-1799 by Leo Gershoy

Erupting out the accumulated resentments against royal absolutism, the French Revolution forever destroyed a social order based upon aristocratic privilege. It became the central social and psychological fact in French history for the ensuing century. Yet it was far more. Its impact was felt throughout much of the continent; it became the rallying force for liberal reformers and the non-privileged social groups of Western Europe to whom its doctrines were already an unshakable cause. In gripping narrative and readings, The Era of the French Revolution presents the most modern interpretation of what happened inside France and traces the impact of the Revolution on other nations.
