Review # 1 was written on 2019-09-27 00:00:00 George P Dodge IV The author name of this edition should be Nesta Webster, not Webber. This book is well documented with original source material, and goes a long way in correcting the historical errors related to the French Revolution. Notably, it was not a popular uprising of the people, but an organized overthrow of the entire society by several nefarious groups that plotted in secret.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-06-21 00:00:00 Joshua Lovi The French Revolution is still a swirling mass of politics, murder, and confusion for me. After the death of the king is the most difficult times for me to keep track of who is who and what is going on. I keep reading though to help me understand events. I grabbed this book from the library simply because of the subject. I found myself enjoying this one since it discussed mainly what happened to the French government as it moved from a monarchy, to a national assembly, to a dictatorship, and so on. How royal venal officials were moved to salaried civil servants was especially insightful for me. I felt somewhat lost when the author jumped subjects on me, however, that may be due to my lack of understanding or ability to keep track of events and persons of interest. Overall, a very informative book, but I must keep going since I am still kindof lost when it comes to our Frankish friends.
