Publisher's Synopsis
The Four Wars of the French Revolution by David Urquhart is a historical examination of the French Revolution and the four wars that took place during that period. The book argues that these wars would have been impossible without the suppression of the functions of the Privy Council. The Privy Council was a group of advisors to the king of France that had been in place for centuries, but was abolished during the Revolution. Urquhart contends that this abolition led to chaos and instability within the French government, which in turn led to the wars. The book provides a detailed analysis of the events leading up to each war, as well as the political and social climate of the time. The author draws on a wide range of primary sources, including government documents, newspapers, and personal accounts, to support his arguments. The Four Wars of the French Revolution is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the French Revolution, as well as for those interested in the role of government and political institutions in times of crisis.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
