Never before has the French Revolution been presented in such a novel fashion. The use of the tried and tested method previously applied to "Chronicle of the 20th Century" has made it possible to bring vividly to life the momentous events that rocked France between 1788 and 1799.A detailed and precise chronology allows the reader to follow the activities of the main protagonists of those troubled and often violent times: the people, the heroes and the leaders, both military and political. Nearly 3,000 events, major and minor, political and social are included. It is history in action.All the events which convulsed Europe and shaped the modern world are here: from the Declaration of the Rights of Man to the bloodthirsty frenzy of the Terror; from Liberty, Equality and Fraternity to the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte to virtual dictatorship.
