This stimulating one‑volume history traces the social and economic evolution of France as a nation from the founding of the monarchy in 987 to the present day. Against a background of structural change, Pierre Goubert offers a vivid account of key events and personalities, emphasising how political developments and influential figures shaped the nation as a whole. The author incorporates findings from recent monographic studies with clarity and precision, combining broad historical sweep with his own direct, forceful, and iconoclastic judgements that make this an invaluable survey of French history.
