Synopsis

'Cambridge should be warmly congratulated on their decision to make [the revolutionary decade volumes] available in translation. For this is far more than just another general history of the Revolution, roaming across a familiar political canvas. All three authors are active researchers in the field, and two of them, Michel Vovelle and Marc Bouloiseau, have written pioneering studies on the revolutionary experience ... Taken together, the three volumes present a valuable conspectus ... Students of the revolutionary period will turn to these volumes with both pleasure and profit.' Alan Forrest, The Times Higher Educational Supplement
