How modern France was established is a fascinating story; beginning with the final years of the pre-revolutionary monarchy, this history describes French accomplishments into the 20th century. France in the mid-1700s was a nation strained with the effects of social and economic decay, ruled by a monarchy perceived as extravagant and uncaring of its people. The French revolution spanned several years, its bloodiness and horrors - and conclusion with mass executions by guillotine - was a significant event that shook the entire European continent. From the chaos sprang a new ruler: Napoleon - a military man who sought to propel France to greatness through conquest. Hélène Guerber describes these visceral events well, offering a complete narration of France's turmoil and the campaigns of Napoleon. Following Napoleon's eventual defeat at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, the focus turns to the various conflicts and colonial aspirations of France in the 19th century. The achievements of the nation are also alluded to, especially the ideals of social progress - the famous motto "Liberty, Equality and Fraternity" would define the spirit of a modern, democratic France. The history concludes on a bright note; the great architectural and scientific feats like the emblematic Eiffel Tower and France's pioneering aviators. Throughout, some 37 drawings and photographs accompany Guerber's narration.

With the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte at the Battle of Waterloo in June 1815, the next two centuries for France would be tumultuous. Bestselling historian and political commentator Jonathan Fenby provides an expert and riveting journey through this period as he recounts and analyses the extraordinary sequence of events of this period from the end of the First Revolution through two others, a return of Empire, three catastrophic wars with Germany, periods of stability and hope interspersed with years of uncertainty and high tensions. As her cross-Channel neighbour Great Britain would equally suffer, France was to undergo the wrenching loss of colonies in the post-Second World War as the new modern world we know today took shape. Her attempts to become the leader of the European union is a constant struggle, as was her lack of support for America in the two Gulf Wars of the past twenty years. Alongside this came huge social changes and cultural landmarks but also fundamental questioning of what this nation, which considers itself exceptional, really stood - and stands - for. That saga and those questions permeate the France of today, now with an implacable enemy to face in the form of Islamic extremism which so bloodily announced itself this year in Paris. Fenby will detail every event, every struggle and every outcome across this expanse of 200 years. It will prove to be the definitive guide to understanding France.
