  • Product Description

    A new history of the French Revolution, as seen through the eyes of the Royal family of the period. Munro Price has meticulously researched the mood, atmosphere and personalities behind the palace walls. At the heart of this research is a cache of letters that sheds new light on the lives of the royals, as the monarchy was gradually stripped of its power and revolutionary fervour called for their execution. The central character in this new evidence is the Baron de Breteuil. Louis's ambassador in exile, who orchestrated doomed escape plans and co-ordinated the international response to the revolution. This new book reassesses a perennially interesting period of history and will shed fresh insight into one of the real tuning points in European histor.
