Customer Reviews

An Excellent Introduction To The French Revolution

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?

GOOD THUMB NAIL OVERVIEW

This is a very nice, quick read, overview of the French Revolution. The text is quite readable the author presents his facts in an interesting way. Needless to say, such a short work can be nothing but a brief overview, the work never-the-less lends some understanding to events of that time and for those interested, certainly offers plenty of motivation to read other works of more depth. Recommend this one for anyone wanting a short sketch of this major turning point in European history. Recommend this one.
