Godfather of the Revolution: The Life of Philippe Egalite, Duc d'Orleans Book

I'm pretty disappointed in this biography. I am by no means an expert, but a lot of what was presented in this book differed greatly from what I have already read about the events of the French Revolution. This, in and of itself, is fine. These things happened long ago, who is to say what we "think" we know is absolute fact? The problem is a lack of footnotes, or any explanation of the differences in opinion, that make it hard to give credence to what the author has written. If I can't identify where the author got his information, and research it myself, how am I supposed to decide whether or not the author had good reason to go against the typical storyline of the Revolution? Furthermore, their were certain events that were outright incorrect. For example the author states the Storming of the Tuileries happened on July 10th when it actually occurred on August 10th. Clearly this was an honest mistake, but examples like this, in addition to those mentioned above, make me question the quality of effort exerted in the author's research, or lack thereof. It wasn't all terrible, but if I have to read another biography to validate whether or not this book was accurate, it's fair to say this book was a waste of my time.

Finally, I hate when a book of history doesn't have an epilogue. The effects of an individual's life hardly ceases upon their death, especially if that person was famous enough to warrant a book to be written about them. Any book that ends upon the death of the subject is bound to leave the reader unsatisfied.
