On a June night in 1791, King Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette fled Paris in disguise, hoping to escape the turmoil of the French Revolution. They were arrested by a group of citizens a few miles from Belgium and forced to return to Paris. Two years later they would both die at the guillotine. Tackett recounts this story in gripping novelistic style.
