Description
Simon Schama deftly refutes the contemporary idea that the French Revolution was a courageous and noble uprising of the poor and oppressed. “The crisis came from a rift within the elite itself on how best to reinvigorate the state,” Schama argues. Schama’s novel approach brings us closer to the reality of the French Revolution—exciting and terrifying, seductive and gruesome.
