The French Revolutionary Wars, 1787-1802 (Modern Wars)
"...a superb work of historiography. Far more ambitious than its modest title suggests, it is a history of the French Revolution as well as a military and diplomatic history of Europe from 1787 to 1802....this book is more than atour de forceof erudition. It is a richly textured, engaging narrative punctuated by cogent, often brilliant analysis."--France Review of Books
