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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on decades of scholarship, \u003ci\u003eA New World Begins\u003c\/i\u003e will stands as the definitive treatment of the French Revolution.","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42370767126589,"sku":"9781541620179","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781541620179_p0.jpg?v=1771566451","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.mom\/products\/9781541620179","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
