Synopsis
The French Revolution is one of the landmark events in European and world history. It signalled a fatal weakening of the old order, a new way of thinking about things and a new democracy. This book rewrites the history of the revolution from the viewpoint of the men who lay at its core. The 'radicals' - among them such famous names as Marat, Robespierre, Saint-Just, Brissot, Danton and Desmoulins - more than anyone or anything else determined the course of the revolution. These men campaigned for ever more far-reaching reforms both in the legislative assemblies and without, where they formed and led Jacobin clubs, incited men and women to further acts of revolt and encouraged more advanced ways of thinking. The history of the revolution is very much the history of the radical politicians and this book retells the story from their crucial perspective.
