Editors Forrest and Middell begin with an introduction containing a historiographic overview of the Revolution and brief summaries of the chapters. Essays are conveniently grouped into sections examining direct international impacts of the French Revolution, transnational influences and entanglements, and interpretive impacts far from France in space and time. Readers can hardly find more original research and historiography to demonstrate the impact of the Revolution in one volume. Each essay contains food for thought for both scholars and researchers about the French Revolution directly as well as its global contexts. (...) this collection contains a wealth of original research and interpretation on the global reach of the French Revolution. Summing Up: Highly recommended.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- J.
