About This Item
New York: HarperCollins, September 2007. Hardcover. First Edition (stated) / second printing per number line. Near Fine book in a Fine jacket. Remainder mark. RFID to rear paste-down. Seems unread. xxii + 658 pages.
This book redefines the founding era of the United States. As the 1790s began, America was struggling to survive at home and abroad, and the world was gripped by an arc of revolutionary fervor stretching from Philadelphia and Paris to St. Petersburg and Cairo. While a fragile United States teetered on the brink of oblivion, Russia towered as a vast imperial power, the Islamic peoples were gearing for war, and France plunged into monumental revolution. Winik illuminates how their fates combined in one extraordinary moment to change the course of civilization and bequeath us the world--we've inherited.
