Reader Reviews
I am convinced "the French Revolution" should always be placed in quotation marks, as there were many revolutions in France, spanning decades, and the last is arguably still under way. Hibberts chooses the period between the beginning of the trouble in the reign of Louis XVI and the coup d'etat of Napoleon Bonaparte. The French Revolution is a narrative history, not an academic one. This means the average reader will enjoy reading it without being bogged down by copious footnotes and constant hemming and hawing about different opinions of this or that event. In this case, the result is a riveting story about the blood, sweat, and tears of "The French Revolution," along with some perspective and insight into the real tragedies that occurred on the way to French democracy. I read The French Revolution while visiting Paris, and it added immensely to my enjoyment of the city. For example, I visited the Palais Royale and imagined it a hotbed of vice and insurrection, the Place de la Republique and imagined the ground muddy with the blood of victims of the Terror. The French Revolution allowed me to experience Paris as if I already knew the place, to some extent. Anyone interested in "getting up to speed" on the French Revolution would be well-served in reading this book.
