An Excellent Introduction To The French Revolution
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
The Rights of Man, The Resign of Terror: The Story of the French Revolution, Susan Banfield; J.P. Lippincott (1989) Banfield's occasional grammatical, stylistic & chronological miscues pale in significance when compared to the overall value of what is an excellent introduction to this oft-appallingly violent historical era. And its bibliography ("Recommended for Further Study") gave me the first heads-up as to the existence of historian J.C. Herold's "The Mind of Napoleon." What better reasons could exist for the birth of gratitude?
