The Days of the French Revolution by Christopher Hibbert

Christopher Hibbert brings the French Revolution to life in a compelling account of the people and events that changed the course of European history. Focusing on the most significant events of the era, The Days of the French Revolution spans the decade between the meeting of the Estates General at Versailles in 1789 and the coup d'état that brought Napoleon Bonaparte to power in 1799.

The storming of the Bastille, the decadent and doomed court of Louis XVI, and the influence of Danton, Marat and Robespierre are all discussed in this unique work. Readers will gain an in-depth understanding of a decade that marked the end of a way of life and the birth of a new era in politics, government and society.Christopher Hibbert, an Oxford graduate, has written more than fifty books, including Wellington: A Personal History, London: The Biography of a City, Redcoats and Rebels, and The Destruction of Lord Raglan.
