{"product_id":"9780060083144","title":"The Great Upheaval: America and the Birth of the Modern World, 1788-1800","description":"\u003cp\u003e It is an era that redefined history. As the 1790s began, a fragile America teetered on the brink of oblivion, Russia towered as a vast imperial power, and France plunged into monumental revolution. But none of these remarkable events occurred in isolation. In \u003ci\u003eThe Great Upheaval\u003c\/i\u003e, acclaimed historian Jay Winik masterfully illuminates how their fates combined in one extraordinary moment to change the course of civilization. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Winik brings his vast, meticulous research and narrative genius to the cold, dark battlefields and deadly clashes of ideologies that defined this age. Here is a savage world war, the toppling of a great dynasty, and an America struggling to survive at home and abroad. Here, too, is the first modern Holy War between Islam and a resurgent Christian empire. And here is the richest cast of characters ever to walk upon the world stage: Washington and Jefferson, Louis XVI and Robespierre, Catherine the Great, Adams, Napoleon, and Selim III. Exquisitely written and utterly compelling, \u003ci\u003eThe Great Upheaval\u003c\/i\u003e vividly depicts an arc of revolutionary fervor stretching from Philadelphia and Paris to St. Petersburg and Cairo—with fateful results. A landmark in historical literature, Winik's gripping, epic portrait of this tumultuous decade will forever transform the way we see America's beginnings and our world. \u003c\/p\u003e  ","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47021703168240,"sku":"9780060083144","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780060083144_p0.jpg?v=1763765245","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780060083144","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
