Marie Antoinette: The Journey by Antonia Fraser

This is the autobiography of the Eighteenth Century Queen of France's tragical life. From the day that she was born, a princess of Austria, Marie Antoinette was destine to be used by various people. First, her family married her off to France to secure their treaty, Then, the French King to bore children. Lastly, the Revoluntionist to kill as a scapegoat. It is amazing how blind people could be by a name. All the good deeds done by this loving queen was dismissed, alone was the tales of her evil-doing remembered.

The Author goes into detail of Marie Antoinette's upbring and quote of her correspondence gives much insight to the Queen's tragic life.

I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone with an interest in Politics or History.
