The single best history of the French Revolution

Kropotkin's history surpasses even the greatest classical treatments of the French Revolution. His emphasis is on the purely liberating aspects of the Revolution, and he takes lessons from the Commune which are still relevant for modern progressives, radicals, revolutionaries, anarchists, syndicalists, and communists. Kropotkin himself is an anarcho-communist, opposing all authoritarian forms of government, and this is reflected in his dynamic and highly spirited interpretation of the French Revolution.
