About this product

Product Information

It is an era that redefined history. As the 1790s began, a fragile America teetered on the brink of oblivion, Russia towered as a vast imperial power, and France plunged into revolution. But in contrast to the way conventional histories tell it, none of these remarkable events occurred in isolation. Now, for the first time, acclaimed historian Jay Winik masterfully illuminates how their fates combined in one extraordinary moment to change the course of civilization. A sweeping, magisterial drama featuring the richest cast of characters ever to walk upon the world stage, including Washington, Jefferson, Louis XVI, Robespierre, and Catherine the Great, The Great Upheaval is a gripping, epic portrait of this tumultuous decade that will forever transform the way we see America's beginnings and our world

    I read this on the heels of David McCullough's "1776," and it was an excellent choice. "The Great Upheaval" takes a focused view of the social/political forces in Europe, western Asia, and America that shaped the final decade of the eighteenth century. It enlarged the world of "1776." Most often, when we read, or are taught about, the history of the period of formation of the United States, the emphasis is just on what happened here. Winik looks hard at Louis XVI's France, Catherine II's Russia, and George Washington's America, with asides to the Ottoman Turks. He gives excellent thumbnail bios of the thinkers, movers, and shakers of the period and how they and their decisions and acts intertwined to create the world we have today. ...
