A distinguished work of popular history."–Kirkus Reviews "Bernier is less interested in historical debates than in telling a good story."–San Francisco Chronicle "When the art historian in Bernier gains ascendancy, the result is wonderful."–The Australian Financial Review ". . . for the first time ever, the world was one, united by war and by the survival of that most ancient of evils, slavery. Already during the Seven Years’ War, from 1756 to 1763, fighting had ranged across the continents and across the oceans; but it had been disorganized and relatively brief, a series of spasms rather than a new way of being. The wars of the French Revolution, from 1792 to 1815, changed all that. Now the leading nations–France and Great Britain particularly–had worldwide strategies. What happened in Rio, Cairo, Calcutta, or Cape Town mattered to the governments in Paris and London; and each movement of the adversaries caused consequences thousands of miles away."–From the Introduction.
