'Questioning History': The verdict of history is rarely clear and undisputed. In this series, significant events and controversial personalities of recent history are examined in the light of the debates and questions they have generated.
'The French Revolution': Between 1789 and 1799 France underwent a dramatic transformation, from an absolute monarchy to a republic. The revolution affected every aspect of French society.

This book explores some of the questions surrounding this famously violent period in history.
Features:
- Could the monarchy have survived if the king had acted differently?
- How significant was the Fall of the Bastille?
- What was the legacy of the Revolution - for France and for the rest of the world?
