From an award-winning historian, a magisterial account of the revolution that created the modern world

The principles of the French Revolution remain the only possible basis for a just society -- even if, after more than two hundred years, they are more contested than ever before. In A New World Begins, Jeremy D. Popkin offers a riveting account of the revolution that puts the reader in the thick of the debates and the violence that led to the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of a new society. We meet Mirabeau, Robespierre, and Danton, in all of their brilliance and vengefulness; we witness the failed escape and execution of Louis XVI; we see women demanding equal rights and black slaves wresting freedom from revolutionaries who hesitated to act on their own principles; and we follow the rise of Napoleon out of the ashes of the Reign of Terror.

Based on decades of scholarship, A New World Begins will stand as the definitive treatment of the French Revolution.

Stylish and most importantly they are comfortable right out of the box, no breaking in required. This is my second pair, I now own both the black and brown colors to compliment almost any outfit. Worth the price!

Absolutely comfortable.
Size: 9, Color: Brown Multi
I am always on the lookout for a professional, but very comfortable shoe (education field with a lot of walking). These Florsheims fit the bill and make me wonder why I never bought these before. Something about them just didn't "look" comfortable to me but man was I wrong. These are easily among my most comfortable work shoes with the bonus of also looking more professional. I will say they have some heft to them, so if that's a problem for you these may not be right for you. As for me, they are right as rain. I purchased the black and brown ones (with white souls) and they are at the top of my rotation now. I look forward to trying some more from Thai company.
