PRAISE FOR The World in 1800

"Olivier Bernierıs richly detailed, engaging, and elegant book offers a splendid refresher course on a pivotal moment in world historyıthe dawn of the modern era."ıFrancine du Plessix Gray

"Elegantly written." ıThe New York Times Book Review

"Bernierıs style is easeful and informed: he has an acute eye for a colourful, clever, and iconic image."ıThe Times (London)

"Sweeping, impressively argued. . . . A distinguished work of popular history."ıKirkus Reviews

"Bernier is less interested in historical debates than in telling a good story."ıSan Francisco Chronicle

"When the art historian in Bernier gains ascendancy, the result is wonderful."ıThe Australian Financial Review

". . . for the first time ever, the world was one, united by war and by the survival of that most ancient of evils, slavery. Already during the Seven Yearsı War, from 1756 to 1763, fighting had ranged across the continents and across the oceans; but it had been disorganized and relatively brief, a series of spasms rather than a new way of being. The wars of the French Revolution, from 1792 to 1815, changed all that. Now the leading nationsıFrance and Great Britain particularlyıhad worldwide strategies. What happened in Rio, Cairo, Calcutta, or Cape Town mattered to the governments in Paris and London; and each movement of the adversaries caused consequences thousands of miles away."ıFrom the Introduction
