reviewed Citizens and Cannibals: The French Revolution, the Struggle for Modernity and the Origins of Ideological Terror on May 10, 2020
Citizens and Cannibals
I wouldn't recommend reading this book unless it's for a class. If this were for class and not for fun, I would take the time to muddle through it.
At the risk of sounding uneducated and unread, I largely echo a previously stated review asking "where is the editor"? The book is verbose and the sentences are long and seem to emphasize using antiquated language than to be understood. I found it funny that it's more difficult to read the works of an author who invokes the name of de Tocqueville than it is read de Tocqueville himself.
Again, if it's for class, take your time because the book is very dense. If it's not, don't pick this book up. It's not worth the time.
