This brilliant new book is the first in forty years to describe the whole period, from the last days of the \u0026amp;;Sun King\u0026amp;; to the wars of Napoleon. In a groundbreaking work of scholarship, Colin Jones argues that, contrary to popular belief, the house of Bourbon\u0026amp;;s downfall was hardly a foregone conclusion. Producing an illuminating account of a society torn apart from within, he recounts the saga of how a dynamic French society\u0026amp;;the heart of the Enlightenment\u0026amp;;fell prey to the debt and humiliation of its wars against Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePenguin Books | brand: Penguin Books | manufacturer: Penguin Books\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51533697220896,"sku":"NEW0140130934","price":31.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71aIfJD3o3L.jpg?v=1777349999","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-great-nation-france-from-louis-xv-to-napoleon-0140130934","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
