A good analysis of the French Revolution.
The author does a great job of detailing the stages of the French Revolution. He takes it from the initial aristocratic revolt to the Third Estate revolt, and then to Napolean. Each stage is broken down and analyzed in short 10-12 page summaries. Although the reader gets a detailed reason why something happens, there are few stories in this analysis, so one does not...

This review is from: The French Revolution: Its Causes, Its History and Its Legacy After 200 Years (Paperback)
The author does a great job of detailing the stages of the French Revolution. He takes it from the initial aristocratic revolt to the Third Estate revolt, and then to Napolean. Each stage is broken down and analyzed in short 10-12 page summaries. Although the reader gets a detailed reason why something happens, there are few stories in this analysis, so one does not get how the King or Robespierre felt on the eve of their executions. What you get is why this bloody and liberating revolution actually occurred. However, the analysis is right on target and one gets a view why things happened.
This is an interesting read and the book stages detail the stages of the Revolution. This may not be reading for everyone, but it does show why and how the French Revolution happened.
