In 1789, a mob stormed a fortress called the Bastille…and the world would never be the same. Over the next sixty years, the French rose up again…and again…and again, from 1789 to 1848, revolution after revolution after revolution, one great struggle that refused to end, one song that refused to die.
Or...James Houser's Cliff Notes version of French history from 1789 to 1848. Guillotines, flags, songs, speeches, and more than a little blood. The revolution will not always be civilized...but it will transform the world.
