Book Description

This is a rather ponderous history of Europe from 1789 to 1815. Heavy on dates, short on story, it points out just how bloody & unthinking the French revolution was & how every faction was constantly jockeying for position & how self-seeking the players were.
Author portrait of Will Durant
