Together the volumes instruct readers in a wholly original method of historical writing, one that treats emotion and psychology as central evidence for understanding a nation's past.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572418777307,"sku":"2026100011306-SECONDHAND","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/945eb0df-adee-4558-9488-5b3053ffc77a.png?v=1791166494","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100011306-secondhand-france-1848-1945-four-volume-set","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
