As the 1790s began, a fragile America teetered on the brink of oblivion, Russia towered as a vast imperial power, and France plunged into monumental revolution. But none of these remarkable events occurred in isolation. In \u003cem\u003eThe Great Upheaval\u003c\/em\u003e, acclaimed historian Jay Winik masterfully illuminates how their fates combined in one extraordinary moment to change the course of civilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinik brings his vast, meticulous research and narrative genius to the cold, dark battlefields and deadly clashes of ideologies that defined this age. Here is a savage world war, the toppling of a great dynasty, and an America struggling to survive at home and abroad. Here, too, is the first modern Holy War between Islam and a resurgent Christian empire. And here is the richest cast of characters ever to walk upon the world stage: Washington and Jefferson, Louis XVI and Robespierre, Catherine the Great, Adams, Napoleon, and Selim III. Exquisitely written and utterly compelling, \u003cem\u003eThe Great Upheaval\u003c\/em\u003e vividly depicts an arc of revolutionary fervor stretching from Philadelphia and Paris to St. Petersburg and Cairo—with fateful results. A landmark in historical literature, Winik's gripping, epic portrait of this tumultuous decade will forever transform the way we see America's beginnings and our world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jay Winik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46900248871061,"sku":"9780061554384","price":50.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9780061554384.png?v=1777422851","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9780061554384_the-great-upheaval","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
