Book Overview
This stimulating one-volume history traces the social and economic evolution of France as a nation from the founding of the monarchy in 987, to the present day.Against a background of structural change, Goubert etches a vivid account of key events and personalities. His perspective is a popular one, and his main interest is in how political events and famous people affect the nation as a whole. The book incorporates the findings and perspectives of recent monographic studies with clarity and precision, but it is Goubert's own judgements, direct, forceful and iconoclastic, which make this an invaluable text.

Excellant

Excellant history, however, difficult to understand. I had to have a dictionary handy to read it. Well worth it.
Good for French History but not a fun read

I really like this book because I'm trying to learn about French History. It is very academic so if you are looking for a "fun" or "leisurely" read, pass on this book.
