Books by Dr David Andress

A short and controversial new interpretation of arguably the most important revolution of all time: the event that made the rights of man and the demand for liberty, equality and fraternity central to modern politics.

A blistering assessment of the West's abandonment of history as it succumbs to an attack of social and cultural dementia, by leading historian David Andress.

The French Revolution of 1789 was the central event of modern history. This work paints a portrait of the common people of France, in the towns and in the countryside; in Paris and Lyon; in the Vendee, Britanny, Provence. It is a story of conflict, violence and death, but there were winners as well as losers and not all the suffering was in vain.
