This is an incredible account of the events of the French Revolution, from the beginning in the late 1780s through the ascension of Napoleon in the early 1800s. Hibbert writes nonfiction in an engaging and fascinating way and I had a hard time putting this book down. The pacing can feel a bit slow at times, but when there’s a wealth of information as exists in this book, that’s nigh unavoidable. Highly recommend to anyone interested in the details of this period of history.
