Par l'un des plus fameux historiens de la Révolution française, le récit, tout à la fois précis et vivant, de la fuite du roi Louis XVI. Le 21 juin 1791, Louis XVI parvient à organiser sa fuite. Quittant le Palais des Tuileries en pleine nuit avec sa famille et des proches, il cherche à gagner secrètement Montmédy où stationnent les armées de Bouillé. On sait ce qu'il advint : le roi fut arrêté dans la petite ville de Varennes et ramené prisonnier à Paris. Deux ans plus tard, le couple royal montait sur l'échafaud. La fuite du roi à Varennes est sans doute l'un des épisodes les plus fameux de l'histoire de la Révolution française, qui fit l'objet de nombreux récits, plus ou moins romancés, de Jules Michelet à Ettore Scola, en passant par Alexandre Dumas. Au point que la légende et l'imagerie d'Épinal ont souvent recouvert la réalité historique. Face à cet événement extraordinaire, l'historien américain Timothy Tackett se donne trois tâches : d'abord raconter dans le détail, presque heure par heure, le déroulement de cette incroyable fuite à partir de l'ensemble des sources et archives disponibles. Ensuite, il explore l'impact de la fuite sur toute la France et restitue l'effervescence politique et sociale ainsi que l'émotion puissante que suscita la trahison du roi dans l'opinion publique, à Paris et en province. Enfin, Timothy Tackett s'efforce de resituer l'événement dans le cours de la Révolution française, et sa radicalisation jusqu'à la Terreur de 1793. Il montre que loin d'être inscrite dans les " gènes " idéologiques de la Révolution, la Terreur doit aussi être comprise à la lumière des événements, notamment par rapport au traumatisme de la trahison du roi et l'émergence de véritables menaces contre-révolutionnaires.
