reviewed Becoming A Revolutionary on February 15, 2014
Becoming A Revolutionary
A good study on the very early stages of the French Revolution. Tackett provides a detailed study on the deputies gathered in the assembly and how these men, none of whom really wanted to over throw the ancien regime when first gathered ended up ushering in the most radical revolution the world had seen up to that point. Good if you're interested in the revolution, and if you're interested in how the lack of a good strong leader ( which Louis XVI was not)can lead to very bad things. If you're looking for a general survey of the revolution, skip this book. It's very detailed as I said before, and not targeted at addressing general questions regarding the revolution .
