A History of Modern France: Volume 2 traces one of the most turbulent and transformative periods in French history, from the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1799 through to the Paris Commune of 1871.
Historian Alfred Cobban examines the reshaping of French politics, society, law, and institutions during the Napoleonic era, the Restoration, the revolutions of the nineteenth century, and the collapse of the Second Empire. Written in a concise but scholarly style, the book balances political history with broader social and cultural change.
