About this listen

Esteemed professor Donald M.G. Sutherland provides a riveting account of the French Revolution, explaining how its effects varied greatly according to regional economies, social structures, and religious affiliations. He examines how massive counter revolutionary movements profoundly affected the course of the Revolution, Leading to the failure of constitutional government and, ultimately, to an elitist dictatorship (in the person of Napoleon Bonaparte) that paved the way for many of the struggles of the 19th century.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Read this only if you already have previous knowledge of European history and of the French Revolution. Many aspects are not explained at all and often the aftermath is discussed without discussing the causing events. Some comments on part of the author may him sound like not very knowledgeable of European affairs and full of prejudice.

It is sad to say, but there are free podcasts about history better than this book.

No good narrative. Many important items left out.
