The French Revolution
This history is sooooo Marxist. That's not a bad thing - Soboul was one of the leading historians of the French Revolution and also a leading Marxist historian, and he followed Lefebvre is showing that Marxist contributions to the study of history are immensely useful in understanding things like this revolution. Still, it's kind of amusing, from 2011, to read bits of this - there are such classic Marxist comments, and classic lines about class consciousness, that almost feel cliched today... because they got used by people like Soboul to make important and influential points.
Anyway. Soboul does make some really interesting points about the influence of the masses, and the sans-culloutes, particularly after 1791 or so - his discussion of the Girondins and Jacobins, and their different attitudes towards the masses, is perhaps a little bit too black and white but intriguing nonetheless.
This is a really enjoyable overview of the French Revolution - and particularly readable given that it's a translation.
