Description:

Four of the six chapters narrate the revolution in a conventional though concise manner from causes to Napoleon, tracing social and cultural events as well as military and political ones, and integrating women's history and gender relations into the main text rather than separately. The other chapters explore how the revolution impacted and was impacted by the colonies, and legacies and interpretations of the revolution. The disk contains some 400 documents, more than 250 images, songs, maps, a timeline, a glossary, and other material; it runs under Windows or Mac.
