John Hardman has not just revised his 1992 Yale biography of Louis XVI but re-written it to create this splendid new volume. It uses new scholarship of the past two decades to portray a new vision of this king. This will be the standard book on Louis XVI for a generation, especially for students and historians.

Dr Ambrogio Caiani specialises in Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century Europe and this is his first book, stemming from his research towards his Doctorate. The paperback was released early in 2017 and is a much more affordable option.

Alison Johnson is an American popular historian. This book is a general history suitable for those who are just starting to examine the French Revolution.
