The Revolutionary Era; Third Edition; provides a vivid historical account of the forces that shaped early nineteenth-century Europe. Thoroughly revised and updated in light of recent scholarship; the text introduces compelling perspectives on the French and Industrial Revolutions; integrates new discussions of cultural and social history; and expands coverage of southern and eastern Europe. While preserving the integrity of earlier editions; new coauthor Matthew Levinger broadens the analysis by exploring the everyday experiences of the working classes with those of the political and social elites.

My only gripe is that this is a "brief" version; so for the sake of a class timeline; so far; there is no depth into certain important historical events. Then again; that self-explains the "brief" version. The author covers all the major events but if your looking for something in-depth on the topics; you may want to try his full version which is lengthy.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great and easy readBy LindseyGreat and easy read; loved this format and was compact enough to not kill my back with the rest of my books! I got a used edition that was in pretty bad shape; but still readable. Definitely go used it's the cheapest and best way to go!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Even Better than ExpectedBy Chad CrabtreeOutstanding. I knew Dr. Foner was a brilliant scholar and writer after reading some of his shorter work and taking part in his eye-opening free online course on the Civil War and Reconstruction; so when I saw that he had written a textbook on American history; I was immediately interested to see how his style would translate to the textbook genre. I have not been disappointed. I am curious; though; how much I am missing by not getting the full edition with all of the extra material; however; I could not be more pleased with this concise; yet thorough treatment of American history--and for a reasonable price for a full; comprehensive text like this. Truly great. (Also; do yourself a favor and check our his book The Fiery Trial; and his online course mentioned above. You won't regret it.)
