When did France begin?
Was it born in the forests of ancient Gaul…
In the baptism of a Frankish king…
On the battlefield beside Joan of Arc…
In the storming of the Bastille…
Or in the legal genius of Napoleon?
In France: The Making of a Nation, historian Julien Peltier delivers a sweeping, cinematic narrative of how a land of tribes became one of the most powerful and influential nations in history.
From Celtic warriors and Roman conquerors to medieval kings, religious wars, absolute monarchy, revolution, and empire, this epic journey reveals that France was never born in a single moment.
It was forged.
Blending scholarship with storytelling, this book uncovers the wars, ideas, faith, ambition, and political genius that shaped modern France. You will witness the rise of Clovis, the empire of Charlemagne, the voice of Joan of Arc, the grandeur of Louis XIV, the fury of 1789, and the statecraft of Napoleon.
This is not just the history of a country.
It is the story of how nations are made.
Perfect for readers of sweeping narrative history, European history, and political history, this is the definitive account of France's long becoming.
