Here is an incomparably rich portrait of France in the years when the disparate elements that made up the fragmented kingdom of the ancien regime were forged into the modern nation. The survey begins with an exploration of national obsessions and attitudes. It considers the tendency to revolution and war, the preoccupation with the idea of a New Order and the deep strain of national paranoia that was to be intensified by the dramatic debacle of the Franco-Prussian War. Robert Tombs then investigates the structures of power and in Part Three he turns his attention to social identities, from the individual and family to the nation at large. When every aspect of the period has been put under the microscope, Robert Tombs draws them all into the broad political narrative that brings the book to its rousing conclusion. Bursting with life as well as learning, this is, quite simply, a tour de force.

Excerpt from The Story of France, 1814-1914 Of all European history the history of France is, perhaps, the most brilliant. And since the inception of the Great Revolution that history partakes of the nature of epic. It reads rather like some wild, fantastic novel than the narrative of sober fact. Vet the period after the fall of Napoleon, full as it is of human -and even tragic-interest, has received very little attention from English writers. I therefore venture, in this day when England and France stand shoulder to shoulder and heart with heart in defence of the liberties of our own time and of all time, to offer a simple and consecutive account of the history of France during the tremendous century 1814-1914. At no period could the history of France be called dull, and least of all in the nineteenth century. Look for a moment at the constitutional changes in the first three-quarters of the century. France was tlirce times an Empire (1804-14, 1815, and 1852-70), twice a Constitutional Monarchy (1814 and 1815-30). once an Elective Monarchy (1830-48), and three times a Republic (previous to 1804, 1848-52, and after 1870). In all these changes England was intimately concerned, in war or peace. Louis-Philippe, Louis-Xapo-leon, and the statesmen of the twentieth century made friendship with England the keynote of their foreign policy.

Excerpt from Marie Louise and the Invasion of 1814 The army, inspired by a patriotism more fervent than that of the Parisians, did its duty and more than its duty. It fought and suffered with a heroism worthy of a better fate. It is hard to say which were the more admirable, the beardless youths or the gray haired veterans. Men like them would have saved France, if France could have been saved; but, in Spite of their tireless energy, their indomitable courage, they felt that they were doomed by fate. Napoleon, with all his genius, knew no more of those lucky. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Napoleon and the End of the French Revolution This book is a sequel to my works on Mirabeau, Danton, and Robespierre and their part in the French Revolution. The Revolution made Napoleon. He was its embodiment, its natural sequence; it culminated in him; he stood between its chaos and a Bourbon restoration and although a usurper and a despot he saved the salient principles of that great political upheaval and prevented an immediate and a permanent return to the abuses of the ancient regime. He brought order out of chaos, organized the government upon a stable basis, re-established the church, fostered a spirit of religious toleration, and compiled a Code which secured equality before the law. His ambition carried France to a transcendent glory and at last left her humiliated, exhausted, and stripped of her conquests; but he had given to her people a better form of government and a more beneficent rule than they had ever enjoyed and this made it impossible for his successors to restore the offensive features of the Bourbon monarchy. "The Revolution is planted," he declared, "on the principles from which it proceeded. It is ended." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The British Campaign in France and Flanders 1917 This, the fourth volume of The British Campaign in France and Flanders, carries the story through the long and arduous fighting of 1917, which culminated in the dramatic twofold battle of Cambrai. These events are cut deep into the permanent history of the world, and we are still too near it to read the whole of that massive and tremendous inscription. It is certain, however, that this year marked the period in which the Allies gained a definite military ascendancy over the German forces, in spite of the one great subsequent rally which had its source in events which were beyond the control of the Western powers. So long as ink darkens and paper holds, our descendants, whose freedom has been won by these exertions, will dwell earnestly and with reverence upon the stories of Arras, Messines, Ypres, Cambrai, and 'other phases of this epic period. I may be permitted to record with some thank fulness and relief, that in the course of three thick volumes, in which for the first time the detailed battle line of these great encounters has been set out, it has not yet been shown that a brigade has ever been out of its place, and even a battalion has seldom gone amiss. Such good fortune cannot last for ever. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
