2.		Marie Antoinette from Phoenix Price: £6.99 Customer Review: This is the first of Antonia Fraser's historical biographies that I have read and on the strength of it I have already bought her biography on Henry the Eighth and his six wives and I intend to buy more. I absolutely adored the way this book was written, she sets the scene in such a realistic way... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		1812: Napoleon's Fatal March on Moscow from HarperPerennial Price: £7.69 Customer Review: The book is an exellent example of manipulation of history made by somebody with a strong ideological background. The only goal of Zamoyski is to show that Russia and Russians have nothing to do with the defeat of Napoleon and this defeat was ceased by anything else - bad weather, illness of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		Rites of Peace: The Fall of Napoleon and the Congress of Vienna from HarperPerennial Price: £7.69 Customer Review: We were overdue for a readable history of this period, and Zamowski (bar the odd quibble) has done a creditable job. In particular, he brings out well the crucial importance of the Hundred Days, not for what might have happened - Napoleon's prospects were never very bright - but for what did,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		Napoleon's Wars: An International History, 1803-1815 from Penguin Price: £9.09 Customer Review: Napoleon's story has been told again and again and there is a veritable industry set around the Napoleonic wars, but this book aims to be different. It doesn't go over old ground recording every detail of Napoleon's campaigns and battles (indeed there are none of the usual maps and diagrams of the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		The Age of Revolution: Europe, 1789-1848 from Abacus Price: £9.09 Customer Review: Hobsbawn wrote this book for those who wish to understand how and why the world has come to be what it is and where it is going. This is not a narrative history, and requires thought. The book is complex, but considering the topic and the length of the book, he has to be. But if your are an educated... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		Europe, 1880-1945 (General History of Europe) from Longman Price: £24.64 Customer Review: J.M. Roberts, knows his subject, no doubt about that. He covers social, economic and cultural history over a period of 65 years. All important themes are covered, as you would expect from this type of book, such as the fall of the Austro-Hungarian empire, both World Wars, rise of Fascism, Russian... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		The French Revolution: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) from Oxford Paperbacks Price: £3.99 Customer Review: Fans of this series of books will know that most are very good, a few are duds, and a fair number are amazingly good. Professor Doyle's review of one of the major events in European history is firmly in that last category. It is both an account of the events themselves and an overview of how... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		Wrath of God: The Great Lisbon Earthquake of 1755 from Quercus Publishing Plc Price: £12.00 Customer Review: This wonderful book brings to life an event which caused the deaths of so many. Through evidently painstaking examination of contemporary sources, Edward Paice has illuminated the effect of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake on the history, philosophy, politics and economics of Europe, while at the same... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
