To Revolutionary France and the rest of the world, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette presented a face of accommodation. They had to; they knew their lives depended upon it. Yet, they also realized that they were living on borrowed time, so they decided to act. Using their mysterious ambassador, Baron de Breteuil as go-between, they secretly tried to arrange an invasion of France by the Allied Powers.
Through previously undiscovered documents, historian Munro Price sheds new light on the true motives of the royal family and provides answers to questions that have beguiled historians for centuries.
