A New World Begin is an expounding and well researched documentation of the French Revolution. Now while the actual period of the Revolution is normally considered 1798 through 1799, Popkin expands his analysis from the rise of Louse XVI to the rise of Neapolitan.

Popkin also gives incredible detail to the different cornerstones of society (food production, military, politicking, etc) and their own relationships on causing and being effected by the Revolution. That being said with the great detail Popkin puts into his examination the length of A New World Begin can is a considerably lengthy well exceeding 550 pages, with some section that can tend to be a bit dry. Overall informative, and very useful for information about late 18th century France and the French Revolution.… (mehr)

Abandoned after 60%. It's a long book and not holding my interest. For all the colorful events, the revolution is characterized by a lot of complications and a large cast of characters, events go by quickly to adequately portray and explain in one volume. To it's credit a "New History" with space for minorities and colonialism and doing so seamlessly without feeling revisionist. Reminds of Alan Taylor's approach.
