The French revolution spanned several years, its bloodiness and horrors - and conclusion with mass executions by guillotine - was a significant event that shook the entire European continent. From the chaos sprang a new ruler: Napoleon - a military man who sought to propel France to greatness through conquest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eH l ne Guerber describes these visceral events well, offering a complete narration of France's turmoil and the campaigns of Napoleon.
