Synopsis
Each book in this series presents a two-part investigation of a major event or significant era in world history. A detailed narrative provides an analysis of the immediate significance of events, and their place in the bigger picture, going on to examine the consequences of these events and their impact both on contemporaries and the generations that have followed. This title looks behind the traditional image of the French Revolution, giving an overview of events from the bankruptcy of the Bourbon monarchy in 1788 to the restoration of the monarchy in 1814. The author examines whether the original principles of the Revolution were upheld, the effects of the Directory and Napoleonic government on the achievements of the Revolution, and the long-term significance for France and for political thought worldwide.

From School Library Journal
Grade 7-10-This dull account of the French Revolution runs from Louis XVI's accession in 1774 to Napoleon's final defeat in 1815. It is exceptionally superficial and the events aren't always clearly explained. While the book contains numerous illustrations, some are too dark or small to be useful. There is only one map and, despite the series' claim of "drawing on original sources," there are no footnotes. Steven Otfinoski's Triumph and Terror: The French Revolution (Replica, 1999) is not only more thorough but is better written and actually interesting as well.
