Customer Reviews

Good refresher, even for educated adults

Books like this are far more useful than wikipedia for refreshing one's memory. I was reading a book on French politics, and came upon references to the Jacobins, of which I no longer had a sharp memory. Nicola Barber's book is helpful. It's not simplistic if you consider its purpose: to be brief. Barber doesn't stray from the recieved narratives, and is a little weak on discussing the motives behind the violence. But I recommend it!
