From an award-winning historian, a magisterial account of the revolution that created the modern world.
"A fresh and fair-minded account of the revolution overflowing with vivid narrative detail and clear exposition." -Wall Street Journal
The French Revolution's principles of liberty and equality still shape our ideas of a just society-even if, after more than two hundred years, their meaning is more contested than ever before. In A New World Begins, 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.
Based on decades of scholarship, A New World Begins will stands as the definitive treatment of the French Revolution.
